The Debut of the Mexican Artistic Swimming Team at the 2024 Olympic Games Causes Great Expectation After 28 Years: This is the Reason

The Paris 2024 Olympic Games continue, where this Monday, August 5, the Mexican team will compete in the artistic swimming discipline, specifically, in the technical team routine, a modality in which the country has not participated since the Atlanta Olympic Games in 1996.

Thus, although some Mexican swimmers have competed in the duet event in other recent Olympics, the truth is that the Mexican team has not competed in the Olympic Games in this discipline for 28 years, which has caused great expectation, especially due to the great chances of winning a medal that the Mexicans have this afternoon.

Specifically, the technical routine final will be held from 7:30 p.m. (official peninsular time in Spain), with a team that will be led by the well-known artistic swimmer Nuria Diosdado, who already participated in a duo with other swimmers both in London 2012 and in Rio 2016 and Paris 2020. Now, she returns in a duo with Joana Jiménez, but also in the team modality.

The team has generated a lot of interest due to their great results in other competitions, although some people think they are world champions, when they are not. In fact, the team finished fourth in the acrobatic routine at the World Championships , which is very commendable, but it is not the same competition.

The confusion comes from the fact that the Mexican artistic swimming team has accumulated gold medals, but not at the World Championships, but at the World Cup, a competition that has a different level, since some countries do not participate or do not send their elite swimmers to compete.

“The team is elite, it is among the best in the world and has the qualities and arguments to be able to fight for the podium , but they are not world champions,” explained Olimpismo Mexicano, where they assure that they can fight for the medal this afternoon, something that has caused a lot of expectation after waiting 28 years to see the Mexican team fight again in artistic swimming teams.
