The Olympic Games are the main event in the life of any athlete. Mobbers from "Improv Everywhere" on the eve of the Athens Olympics decided to please the Americans. 16 people of different ages and physiques took off their clothes and went to the fountain on Union Street. They pretended to pass the pre-Olympic qualification in synchronized swimming.
When 16 people suddenly began to undress in one of the parks in New York, those around them were surprised. They were even more amazed when they saw these 16 people walking into the fountain. A little later, people were explained that these are athletes and that they can now get to the Olympic Games if they qualify. Like, this is the American synchronized swimming team. Olympic judges came to evaluate them, the roles of which were perfectly performed by the assistants of Charlie Todd, the organizer of the flash mob.
"Athletes" started their program in the fountain. Quite a few people gathered to see this. The audience was told that the judges would give marks to the "US team" for their performance on a 10-point scale. There were three judges and to get to the Olympic Games you had to score 28 points.
The first referee rated the efforts of the pseudosporists at 9 points. The second judge followed his example. Everything depended on the third - if he gives the maximum mark - the Americans go to the Olympics. The crowd began to chant: "Ten, ten!" And the judge raises the paper with the number 10! The fountain exploded with joy from 16 mobbers.
A photographer immediately appeared and captured the historical event. Queen's song "We are the champions" played loudly. The spectators rejoiced, believing that the participants of the flash mob are really professional athletes. The most distrustful were explained that all the public pools were occupied, so they had to hold classes in the city fountain. According to Charlie, the flash mob was not a deception of New Yorkers, but simply an attempt to give them a good mood with this show.
