The 2022 FINA Artistic Swimming World Series began on 19 March 2022 with a virtual event jointly hosted by the United States and Canada and ended on 22 May 2022 with an onsite super final event in Athens, Greece. [1] The series consisted of four legs across three continents and featured solo, duet, and team artistic swimming events in female, male, and mixed categories. [2] It was the final edition to use the name FINA Artistic Swimming World Series preceding a change of competition name on 9 December 2022 to FINA Artistic Swimming World Cup for the 2023 edition. [3]

Contents

Mixed gender team events featured up to two men per team. [2] In December 2022, following the conclusion of World Series, the International Olympic Committee announced it would be allowing men to compete in artistic swimming for the first time only in mixed gender teams events at the 2024 Olympic Games, using the same format for team composition, up to two men, as the World Series. [4]

From 21 April through the end of the World Series, athletes and officials from Russia and Belarus were banned from participating due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. [5]

Schedule

Originally the World Series was scheduled to include five legs across three continents, including a first ever joint hosting of a FINA Artistic Swimming World Series leg and a FINA Diving World Series leg in Kazan, Russia for the third leg in May 2022. [6] [7] [8] However, due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which started on 24 February 2022, FINA canceled the leg of the World Series scheduled to take place in Kazan out of concern for the safety and well-being of participating athletes. [9] [10] To ensure the safety of participants, FINA required athletes and officials from Russia and Belarus to compete under neutral labels (no country name, flag, anthem, etc.) during competition. [11] [12] The designation "Independent FINA Athlete" (IFA) was the neutral term for competitors from the two countries. [13] After initially allowing athletes and officials from both countries to participate as neutrals, FINA reversed its decision and banned the athletes and officials altogether effective 21 April 2022 through the end of competition. [5] The updated schedule included the four non-canceled legs. [1]
