Shame it's not minifig scale, but nonetheless it's an amazing replica!

^ An archer won the gold medal in a pool event. Wow!

Mind you, having the diving at the same time as the synchronised swimming might liven it up a bit.

^Because the other diver fig was caught with dope in his ABS.

How is the middle synchronized swimmer held in place upside down?

CCC

^ Look in image 6 of 10, there is a clear plate or brick.

BrickDancer

^Can't really make out what it is though, looks like a 2x2 plate but diagonal and being held by the two minifigs. But i don't think that's right or possible.

Looks to me like a clear 3x2 brick, aligned vertical. The two outer circles (in a horizontal line) between their feet are the studs, the circles in the middle (aligned vertically with respect to each other) are the tubes. The two outer studs at each end connect to the backs of the legs. The two other swimmers have their hands up inside the feet, which holds them up.

Aahhh I see it now! Attached to the back of legs for the two vertical swimmers. Nice catch!
