Paris Olympic officials have set an ambitious target of halving their overall carbon footprint compared with the 2012 London and 2016 Rio Games.
Bill May remembers the exact time that the phone call arrived with the news he was waiting for: Male artistic swimmers would be permitted at the 2024 Olympics.
“It’s hilarious. That lightheartedness is really what acknowledges a sport,” May said. “It may look silly, but it’s also saying, ‘OK, you know it does take time; you can’t just walk in and do any sport.’ So I think any publicity is great for our sport.”FILE - The US team, including Bill May, compete in the team acrobatic of artistic swimming at the World Swimming Championships in Japan, July 2023.
“It’s a challenge for any one athlete to come into a sport that they’re not traditionally gender-specific in and, usually, in most American conversations, that’s a female entering a male sport,” Andrasko said. “We just have the reverse scenario here.”“You see these sports grow because, when they’re at the Olympics, that’s where heroes are made,” he said.
His path has included performing with Cirque du Soleil and coaching at Santa Clara Artistic Swimming.
