Men will now be allowed to compete in artistic swimming - formerly known as synchronised swimming - at the Olympics, with the first mixed teams expected at Paris 2024. The new rules permit no more than two men in a team of eight competitors and the world was given a preview at the 2023 World Aquatics Championships in Fukuoka, Japan, where each nation that picked up medals had a male on their team. Adam Andrasko is the head of USA Artistic Swimming for men. He told Newsday: “This is a monumental moment…to have males and females competing together as one, is extremely unique and really exciting.” (Picture: Shows the US artistic swimming team, who took the silver medal behind China at the 2023 World Aquatics Championships in Fukuoka, Japan.
