After decades of exclusion due to gender, 45-year-old Bill May will compete, marking a significant moment for male artistic swimmers.

Bill May, a 45-year-old artistic swimmer, will finally fulfill his Olympic dream by competing in the Paris 2024 Olympics.
For decades, male artistic swimmers like May were excluded from Olympic competition due to gender restrictions.
A rule change over a year ago now allows male swimmers to compete, with May set to make a 'beautiful' debut.
May's journey to the Olympics has been long and challenging, including a stint with Cirque du Soleil and winning the mixed duet technical event at the world championships.
The inclusion of male swimmers in the Olympics is seen as a step towards redefining masculinity in sports and promoting gender equality.
