It seems like there is a gender revolution at the Olympic movement... If anything, Skate Canada is just slightlhy ahead of its time
Artistic swimming is now open to men. 2 men maximum per team for Paris 2024 games. In Canada, very few men practice that sport. In some countries, it's much more popular, especially the mixed duo.
Artistic swimming is a crazy hard sport. Men have often been told they do not have the body type to succeed in that sport... yet some do very well.
I just thought I would drop this here because even sports deeply rooted in a tradition can evolve and do so... I am looking forward to seeing what a couple men can bring to a team of artistic swimmers !
