Senior team Team Surprise (SWE) holds the record for gold medals at Worlds, despite retiring from the world stage almost five years ago.
In October 2018, Team Surprise announced its retirement. The end of this iconic team had been a thunderclap in the synchro world. Indeed, the multiple Swedish champions had been crowned world champions six times since the start of the Worlds in 2000.
Even today, no team has been able to dethrone the famous Team Surprise, which holds the record for world championship gold medals. Six titles between 2000 and 2012.
