This is also the first Olympics <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/olympics-artistic-swimming-synchronized-worlds-may-fd98564506bf362e515b1e75cb24d01c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in which the event is a mixed team<\/a>, with up to two men permitted on the roster. It had previously been only female athletes.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.omegatiming.com\/2024\/world-aquatics-championships-swa-live-results\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2024 World Aquatics Championships Artistic Swimming Results<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>That opens the door for <strong>Bill May<\/strong>, a 45-year-old veteran of the global circuit, to compete at the Olympics for the first time. May was the first man to win a Worlds medal in team artistic swimming when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/reflecting-on-historic-world-championships-for-artistic-swimming-bill-may-and-usa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">he earned silver in the acrobatic routine with the U.S. last summer in Fukuoka<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This week\u2019s bronze was May\u2019s sixth career Worlds medal, including gold in the mixed duet technical routine in 2015 (with <strong>Christina Jones<\/strong>). That was the first Worlds at which men could compete.<\/p>\n<p>Artistic swimming at the World Championships is much more extensive than at the Olympics. Worlds includes six performances \u2013 preliminaries and finals in the acrobatic, technical and free routines \u2013 over seven days, with three medal events. The Olympic competition used to comprise only two performance, a technical routine and a free routine, to generate a single medal podium. The Paris Games <a href=\"https:\/\/olympics.com\/en\/news\/paris-2024-olympic-games-new-artistic-swimming-judging-system\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">will add a third acrobatic routine<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, rosters for Worlds <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usaartisticswim.org\/2024-world-aquatics-championships\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">allow 12 athletes<\/a>, with eight performing each routine. The Olympics allow only a team of eight. May was the only male athlete on the U.S. roster.<\/p>\n<p>Olympic spots went to the teams with the five highest aggregate scores over the three routines. Doha was the U.S.\u2019s last chance to qualify for the Olympics.<\/p>\n<p>May helped the U.S. win bronze on Sunday in the acrobatic routine. He was not part of the octet that finished fourth in the technical final on Tuesday or that grabbed bronze Friday in the free routine.<\/p>\n<p>Four swimmers \u2013 <strong>Anita Alvarez, Daniella Ramirez, Calista Liu <\/strong>and <strong>Jamie Czarkowski<\/strong> \u2013 took part in all four finals. <strong>Megumi Field, Audrey Kwon, Jacklyn Luu <\/strong>and<strong> Keana Hunter<\/strong> competed in two each, with Kwon on both medal-winning squads.<\/p>\n<p>Of the 12 teams competing in each of the three finals \u2013 that is, 288 total athletes \u2013 May was one of only three men, with <strong>Nicolas Campos<\/strong> of Chile and <strong>Giorgio Minsini<\/strong> of Italy. All three competed only in the acrobatic final.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. returning to the Olympics is a big deal in itself, particularly with the normally dominant Russian teams unlikely to be in Paris. The U.S. won gold in the team event in its inaugural competition at the 1996 Olympics and bronze in 2004.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>U.S. Artistic Swimming Qualifies for Team Event in Olympics for First Time Since 2008 The United States finished third on Friday in the mixed team artistic swimming competition at the<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8367,"featured_media":577372,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"dois","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3,14],"tags":[70616,133434,57969,67788,133823,53239,133819,133818,67019,133820,133824,133822,133821],"class_list":["post-577379","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-synchronized-swimming","tag-2024-olympic-games-coverage-paris","tag-2024-world-aquatics-championships-doha","tag-anita-alvarez","tag-artistic-swimming","tag-audrey-kwon","tag-bill-may","tag-calista-liu","tag-daniella-ramirez","tag-jacklyn-luu","tag-jamie-czarkowski","tag-keana-hunter","tag-megumi-field","tag-u-s-artistic-swimming"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v24.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\r\n<title>U.S. Artistic Swimming Qualifies Team for Olympics<\/title>\r\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The U.S. artistic swimming team finished third Friday at the World Aquatics Championships, earning a spot at the Paris Olympics.\" \/>\r\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\r\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/u-s-artistic-swimming-qualifies-for-team-event-in-olympics-for-first-time-since-2008\/\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"U.S. Artistic Swimming Qualifies for Team Event in Olympics for First Time Since 2008;
