Synchronized swimming at the Summer Olympics

Synchronized swimming at the Summer Olympics

Synchronized swimming has been contested at the Summer Olympics since the 1984 Games. The current Olympic program has competition in "duet" and "team" events, but in past games, a "solo" event was also contested. The United States, Canada and Japan have traditionally been the strongest nations in the sport, winning every Olympic medal from 1984 through 1996, but Russia has recently dominated, winning every event in 2000, 2004 and 2008.
