Formerly known as synchronized swimming, artistic swimming has been an Olympic sport since 1984 in the Summer Olympic Games of Los Angeles. From the USA to Canada and Russia, all three nations successfully led the sport throughout the Olympics. Russia took over from the 2000 Olympics, the Russians have won every Gold medal ever since. Anastasia Davydova, Svetlana Romashina, and Natalia Ishchenko hold 5 Gold medals each. As Davydova and Ishchenko retired from the competition, could Romashina win a record of 6 times Gold in Tokyo 2020?
