Spain wins bronze medal at Paris Olympics in artistic swimming while dancing to an Eminem song

China clinched its first-ever Olympic gold in artistic swimming with a triumphant performance in the team event at the Paris Olympic Games 2024. After leading the first two routines in the team event, China claimed its first ever gold medal in artistic swimming at the Paris Olympics, followed by United States and Spain.

With the theme “Light of Life”, China scored 283.6934 points in the team acrobatic routine for a winning total of 996.1389. The United States took the silver medal with 914.3421, and Spain finished third on 900.7319. Host nation France ended just outside the medal placings with 886.6487.

Spain’s bronze medal win was special for Eminem fans. The swimmers danced along the Detroit legend’s magnum opus single, “Lose Yourself,” from 2002’s 8 Mile soundtracks album.

“spain’s artistic swimming team is doing a routine to a mashup of O Fortuna and Lose Yourself by eminem this f–king RULES.” said one of the users on X. Another said: “Listening to #LoseYourself #Eminem at the synchronized swimming competition in the #Olympics2024 is another level! go #Spain !!!.” Someone tweeted: “the Olympics are great because what do you mean Spain is artistically swimming to Eminem?!” Another replied: “There are not one but at least two synchronized/artistic swimming teams that are using Eminem as part of their music? Shout out to Spain for combining it w Carmina Burabw – O Fortuna.”
