Title: Synchronized swimming

Description: <p><strong>Synchronized swimming</strong> (in British English, synchronised swimming), also known as artistic swimming, is a sport where swimmers perform a synchronized choreographed routine, accompanied by music. The sport is governed internationally by World Aquatics (formerly known as FINA).[1] It has traditionally been a women&#39;s sport, although FINA introduced a new mixed gender duet competition that included one male swimmer in each duet at the 2015 World Aquatics Championships and European Aquatics introduced men&#39;s individual events at the 2022 European Aquatics Championships. From 2024, men are able to compete in the team event at the Olympics.[2]</p><p><img src="/images/content/content-sport1503-0-1776720199084-medium.webp"></p><p>Synchronized swimming has been part of the Summer Olympics program since 1984, featuring both women&#39;s duet and team events. In 2017, under the instruction of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), FINA renamed the sport from &quot;synchronized swimming&quot; to &quot;artistic swimming&quot; —a decision that has faced controversy. The new official name has yet to gain general acceptance beyond the core of the sport.[3]</p><p>In 2022, the synchronized swimming rules were overhauled to reduce subjectivity in judging.[4] This change brings the sport&#39;s rules closer to the sport of artistic gymnastics and also figure skating.</p><p>Check: <a href="https://www.wikiwand.com/en/articles/Synchronized_swimming" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.wikiwand.com/en/articles/Synchronized_swimming</a></p>
