This winter has seen drastic temperature changes, making it feel busier than usual. On cold days, I dread going outside and end up staying indoors most of the time. During these days, I endlessly watch videos on streaming platforms. My favorite genre is sports-related—I've been into swimming since childhood, so I often search for footage of swimming competitions. Recently, I noticed something: the sport I'd always known as "synchronized swimming" is now called "artistic swimming." Since I never paid much attention to synchro before, I hadn't realized the name had changed. But looking back at the videos I've watched lately, I surprisingly found them quite fascinating—an unexpected discovery for me. There was a time when Japanese athletes won medals and a quirky coach made headlines. The swimmers' muscular, beautiful legs and their tight-fitting swimsuits were so captivating they got me excited just watching. One day, I received a video from a cameraman. The woman in it looked strangely familiar, resembling someone I'd recently seen in a video. Maybe it's just my imagination. But watching the way she moved her legs, she seemed just like a synchronized swimmer. Her movements had a soft yet flexible quality—something impossible to mimic naturally. If she really was a synchro athlete, this video could become a huge scandal. If she turned out to be a member of Japan's national team, it would undoubtedly ignite a nationwide sensation.
