Always the most camp, surreal of Olympic sports, today’s synchronised swimming final was an impressive but odd mash-up of waterproof make-up and elegant limbs.

Gold medal winners Russia claimed the title for duets with a slightly terrifying routine inspired by horror movies and macabre fairytales.

Silver was taken by Spain with a tango-inspired routine while China took bronze behind with their dragon-esque synchronised swim.

Without further ado, here are some synchronised swimming pictures for you to puzzle over.
