Summer Games 2024 - Men are a novelty for Olympic artistic swimming

Synchronized swimming, also referred to as artistic swimming, has been a part of the Olympic schedule since 1984. It has always been a women-only event at the Games. Perhaps that will change in Paris in 2024. Olympic Games fans can buy Paris 2024 Tickets from our website.

The international governing body for aquatic sports, FINA, modified its regulations last month to include up to two men per nation in the artistic team competition at events like the Olympics. But it is not applicable to the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. At least not yet. The official 2024 Olympic documentation for artistic swimming remains unchanged from that which was first issued in July, prior to the passing of the FINA rule.

The International Olympic Committee drew attention to the fact that the athlete quotas and event schedule for Paris 2024 were agreed in December 2020, 22 months before FINA made the decision to let men to compete in the team event at future Olympics.

The IOC responded to the question of whether it is too late to alter the athlete roster for the team event in Paris 2024 by stating that it 

“is currently collaborating with FINA to learn about their long-term development plans for the integration of men into artistic swimming and the potential competition opportunities for men in this sport swimming at the Olympic Games.”

Important people in American creative swimming predict that the transformation will take impact in Paris. At or after its subsequent executive board meeting in two weeks, the IOC may provide an update.

The team competition will feature men in Andrea Fuentes’ athlete pool, something she is looking forward to. Candidates are available. An event that is not on the Olympic schedule, the mixed duet features one male and one female swimmer and has been a part of the world championships since 2015.

Fuentes stated, “We have men who are ready to swim, but other nations do not,” and she will decide whether to put men in subsequent team contests to test them out. “I want to be included. If I got the chance, I’ll definitely take advantage of it.

The US still needs to qualify for the 10-nation Olympic team competition in 2024. It didn’t make it to the previous three Olympics. In a last-chance qualifying round, it missed the Tokyo Games by one slot and.2108 of a point. Olympic Games fans can buy Paris Olympic Tickets  from our website.

The United States finished sixth in the technical routine, ninth in the free routine, and fifth in the highlight (acrobatic) performance in the world championships this past summer. These three events will make up future Olympic competition. Since it last qualified for the Olympic team event in 2007, that was its highest combined performance at a worlds.

FINA, modified its regulations to include up to two men per nation in the Olympics artistic team competition

The 2023 Pan American Games champion is eligible to compete in the Olympics in 2024. The United States is anticipated to compete with Mexico and Canada for that position.

There are 25 competitors on the current U.S. national team: 24 are female, and one is male. Kenny Gaudet, an 18-year-old from Lakeland, Florida, was recently featured by the Los Angeles Times. Gaudet has participated in solo and duet competitions as well as representing the United States in the acrobatic routine that will be added to the Olympic event in Paris, as FINA revealed last week.

According to Fuentes, 

“it’s becoming into a sport where we need more muscle and power.” 

Men naturally possess greater strength. 

“Each person’s strength can be used in a different way. For instance, one of our female swimmers is incredibly light. So picture pulling this really light person into the air by a manly artistic swimmer. You have the ability to perform the most memorable acrobatics in the history of our sport, don’t you? So everything is altered.

Bill May, a 43-year-old American, is a pioneer in men's creative swimming. When the mixed duet was added to worlds, he exited a 10-year retirement during which he spent a large portion of his time performing in a Cirque du Soleil water performance. He won the first gold medal in a team with Christina Jones.

May claimed that since at least 2000, when he was unaware of any other guys participating in the sport, there had been debates regarding including men.

May, who stopped competing in 2021 and is now the head coach of the Santa Clara Aqua maids programmer in California, claimed that on October 20, he received a text message informing him of the inclusion of men in the Olympic artistic swimming competition. According to May, he responded with "an explosion. Not only for myself. For the game.

May, who was chosen to serve on the FINA athlete committee in June, stated, “The world all of a sudden becomes tunnel vision.” “All of these individuals with whom we have shared that camaraderie now have the chance to compete in a tournament that we previously thought was merely a pipe dream.

“Every male athlete, coach, federation, and official who advocates for men does not do it in an effort to marginalize women. To grow the game that we all adore and revere so much.

Before the Paris Olympics 2024, FINA changes its name to World Aquatics Melton — After a decision on Monday, FINA, the organization that has organized international swimming competitions for more than a century, is changing its name to World Aquatics in preparation for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.

That entails dropping the International Swimming Federation’s French name, Federation International de Natation. According to World Aquatics, the new brand is more inclusive of competitions it regulates, like diving, water polo, and artistic swimming.

“More than 70% of the athletes we met with said that they wanted FINA’s name changed. Many of them were unable to even explain to us what FINA’s letters stood for “Husain Al-Musallam, head of World Aquatics, remarked.

In 2023, before the World Aquatics Championships in Fukuoka, Japan, in July, the new name will be gradually implemented. Among the federations overseeing international sports, World Aquatics continues a trend toward names that are shorter and easier to pronounce in English.

In 2019, World Athletics replaced the International Association of Athletics Federations as the governing body for track and field. World Rowing, formerly the Federation International des Societies Davion, and World Rugby, formerly the International Rugby Board, have changed their names.
