It has been 28 years since Mexico participated in the team competition artistic swimming in some Olympic Games. However, on August 5th we will see this meeting again deportivo.
And it is that the last time that the artistic swimming sports team of Mexico competed in some Olympic Games, It was in Atlanta 1996. Now, we will see this discipline again with the representation of Mexico, under the leadership of the athlete Nuria Diosdado, captain of the team and at this point, a legend of the sport, who shared some ideas before diving into the pool at the Paris Aquatic Centre:
“We always talked about Atlanta 96, when Mexico had a team participation. This was a representative team for us, since it was a watershed in our discipline. We always saw it and admired it and dreamed of being there. Being part of that team that will return and will return to the Olympic Games in team for Mexico It is an honour, a huge pride and it only makes me feel satisfaction and pure fulfillment.”
After all, although Nuria Diosdado has participated in various editions of the Olympics such as London 2012, Rio 2016, Tokyo 2020 and now Paris 2024, this is the first time she has done so as part of a team, after they managed to qualify for the Santiago 2023 Pan American Games.
