Men will not compete in synchronized swimming at the 2024 Olympics in Paris, despite being allowed to

As has learned, not all participating teams took part in men’s synchronized swimming at the Paris Games.

World Aquatics allowed men to compete in group events, but none of the teams took advantage of that opportunity. In particular, Bill May, who is the first man in history to win world championship gold in the sport, did not qualify for the U.S. team.

— Do you think synchronized swimming would be ready for the first men’s Olympic medal right now? Bill May, for example, ultimately did not qualify for the U.S. team.

“The idea is not bad,” Chinese national team coach Ana Tarres told . “But they attacked it too quickly.” Bill had not trained at team level for a long time, so it would be difficult to arrive in time for the Olympics.

– You didn’t put a man in the team either…

– They didn’t install it. We have athletes, but it’s very difficult to prepare someone and integrate them into a team in two years to perform at a high level.

The Paris Olympics will end on August 11.
