Christina Jones is the brightest young star in American synchronized swimming. A champion in duet with partner Andrea Nott at the 2007 Pan-American Games, Jones will look to improve on her fifth-place finish at the 2007 Worlds and match or improve upon the accomplishment of her mentor, Russian-born Anna Kozlova, a bronze medalist for the U.S. in 2004 at Athens. While the Russian, Chinese, and Spanish teams promise tough competition, Jones has certainly had enough time to practice: she and Nott were the first Americans named to the Olympic team, back in 2006.
So, it's well established that she's the best in the country at what she does, and she's established herself among the world's elite before her 21st birthday. Big deal: what we shallower sports bloggers care about is her looks.
After the jump, enjoy more pictures, illuminating analysis, and your chance to participate in the democratic process of shallowly judging someone's attractiveness.
