Hallelujah! Men are finally allowed to compete at the elite level of synchronized swimming! They are eligible for the first time at the World Aquatics Championships in Russia happening this week.

For once, skating can lead by example here...sort of. Men can be part of synchro teams and compete at the senior level. They don't really very often, but they can.

However I think male synchronized swimmers will get to the Olympics before synchronized skaters of any gender will...
