This might be the first synchronized swimming post in the history of this site (swimmers aren’t much for DUIs, and when one of them did get caught smoking pot, it was national news). But it’s not every day you see Spanish chicks swimming around to Zeppelin’s “Stairway to Heaven.” Unless you live in Spain…yeah, it probably happens all the time there. But they’re still more athletes than poker players are. Now where did I stash those water wings?via.

“Wow! More pantsless guys with binoculars!”

This is the exact same thing as yesterday’s update on Bia and Branca Feres, except with less news and different pictures.  And considering yesterday’s “news” was just speculation about a report written in Portuguese, it’s pretty impressive that this is less news.

So in order to make this look and sound like a story, I want you to think of the theme to the old “Batman” TV show.  Ready?  Nahnah-nahnah-nahnah-nahnah-nahnah-nahnah-nahnah-nahnah SWIMSUITS!

SWIMSUITS!

SWIMSUITS!

Everyone’s favorite Brazilian twin synchronized swimmers, Bia and Branca Feres, are back in the news.  Busted Coverage revealed that, uh, well… hmmm.  Busted Coverage revealed absolutely no news at all, because they don’t speak Portuguese and thus can’t decipher the news story they found.  As best as I can tell, their new show on Brazilian MTV aired for the first time yesterday.

Now, you may be asking yourself, “Wait, if they’re hosting a TV show, are they going to be fully clothed?”  And the answer is a resounding No, absolutely not.  Keep in mind that these women are serious competitive synchronized swimmers, and therefore they never get out of skimpy bikinis, is what I’ve convinced myself.

New video of the Killer B’s working the MTV mic, plus new photos, after the jump.

Busted Coverage has a semi-translated update on Bia and Branca Feres, the Brazilian synchronized swimming twins who have become extremely popular in demographics favoring sexy young Brazilian twins.  Supposedly the girls will be featured in some kind of program next summer, and any other details are pretty moot considering you don’t get Brazilian MTV.

In other Feres news, they’re presently the overwhelming favorites to win InGameNow’s Sexiest Athlete bracket.  And I think I speak for everyone when I say, no shit.  Anna Kournikova is nice and all, but last time I counted her I still ended at one.  I’m no mathlete, but I’m pretty sure twins are more than that.

Today has been really slow and unsexy, so I figured this would be a good time to say, Hey, remember Bia and Branca?

Early this morning some other blogs were like "We did some research, and we think Bia and Branca might not be on the Brazilian Olympic team!!!"  Umm, no shit.  Sounds like the first post I wrote about them three days ago.  You know, the one where the first sentence began,

Bia and Branca Feres are not on Brazil's Olympic team this summer…

It was a pretty tough two minutes of research I did.  First I had to go to the Olympic athlete index.  Then I had to select "Brazil."  Then I saw only three synchronized swimmers on that page, and none of them were sexy twins.  So that was that.  But hey, great work, Woodward and Bernstein.  Way to blow the case wide open.  Maybe you can give us the inside scoop on where Brett Favre's gonna get traded, too.

Yesterday we met Bia and Branca Feres, the 20-year-old twins who compete on Brazil's national synchronized swimming team.  Today we take a look at their photo shoot and profile in Brazil's Paparazzo Magazine.  There's a lot to be learned about them.  For example, "Bia" is short for Beatriz.  Branca finds her computer indispensable, while Bia can't be without her cell phone (they're so different!).  I also learned that I really, really wish I spoke Portuguese.

Anyway, while you peruse the largest gallery ever compiled at With Leather, please remember that these young women are athletes first, and if you happen to find them attractive, that's okay because it raises the profile of synchronized swimming.  Really, they're just ambassadors of their sport.  Flexible Brazilian blond twin ambassadors.  My favorite kind.
