Synchronised Office Swimming In Russia
Updated : Apr 1, 2009
A group of Russian women have become internet stars after performing a synchronised swimming routine - at their desks.
The women, who work for an architects' firm, filmed their routine for an Olympics-themed competition and beat hundreds of other entries to scoop a £3,500 first prize. The clip was filmed secretly during lunch breaks and has attracted more than a million hits on YouTube.
Worker Mosha Dugina said: "We were all really energetic and enthusiastic to do it. It was such a breath of fresh air to do something where we got the chance to show off a little and show people that we have beautiful long legs. Most of the time we just sit by our desks and all everyone normally sees is our top halves."
Ilya Korneev from the competition organisers Affect.ru said: "The competition attracted hundreds of applications, but it was apparent from early on that there was going to be one clear winner. We thought that was the finish, but the girls' success continued when the clip went on to Europe. The clip attracted over a million views in its first few weeks."
