Montreal, November 28, 2009 – The Canadian synchronised swimming team triomphed in a third event this weekend and was awarded its first perfect marks since 1992, in the thematic team event on Saturday, during the 4th FINA Synchronised Swimming World Trophy.

They finished ahead of Russia (98.333 points) and Spain (97.667 points).
