The Russian duo of Natalia Ishchenko and Svetlana Romashina easily took the gold medal in the women's synchronised swimming duets free routine final on Tuesday, beating China and Japan to the top spot at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
Russia had won the last four gold medals in the event and were clear favourites entering the final, and Ishchenko and Romashina nailed their routine, going for the highest technical difficulty of anyone in the field and finishing with the best marks in the execution department as well.
Here's a look at the medallists, complete with their final scores:
