Synchronized swimmers show their finesse at Tuesday’s games
Young athlete Kaibrie Lumbard from Lloydminster with Team Rivers West was all smiles after winning gold in the solo synchronized swimming finals Tuesday.
“I’m really happy. I’m so excited,” said the 12-year-old after hearing the results on the second day of the Saskatchewan Winter Games in North Battleford.
Lumbard beat 14 other athletes overall in total, competing in the solo competition with youth ages 11 to 16 taking part. She also competed with six of the 14 athletes who were in the “A flight” standing group competition in the solo finals.
The youth said she has had a practice every week on solo synchronized swimming since September. Lumbard has been in competitive synchronized swimming for the past five years.
