According to the criteria of the International Swimming Federation (World Aquatics), Russian synchronized swimmers will not be able to qualify for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.
On Monday, World Aquatics reported that the organization’s world office had unanimously decided to adopt criteria that would allow athletes with Russian and Belarusian passports to compete as neutral individual athletes.
– Athletes and their support staff are not permitted to participate in any World Aquatics team competition. A world swimming team competition is a competition involving several people, whose combined efforts result in a single time or points, depending on the published criteria for the admission of Russians.
The Olympic Games in the French capital will be held from July 26 to August 11, 2024.
In synchronized swimming, the Olympic program includes duet and group competitions. The Russian team from the Sydney 2000 Games remained invincible at the Olympic Games in synchronized swimming.
