Men can compete in Olympic artistic swimming for the 1st time. But none made the cut

This year, for the first time, male athletes are eligible to compete in Olympic-level artistic swimming.

Yet, in an Olympic Games being touted as the first to achieve full gender parity, not one man made the cut for the competition in Paris. This has some critics asking questions about gender diversity in the sport and one swimmer calling it quits.

SNL had an hilarious synchro swimming skit featuring Martin Short and Harry Shearer, it is alas unavailable, other than one with the complete sketch stripped of dialogue and overlayed with a song.
