    		September 14, 2000, FINA (Federation Internationale de Natacion Amateur) approved men's synchronized swimming events in the Olympics (Newberry).

    		There is Womens Boxing. Why the heck not Mens Synchro. (The poor whimps!)

    		Although FINA may have approved men's competition in principle, to date only women have competed in synchronised swimming at the Olympics. No men's events are on the schedule for the 2008 games in Beijing.

    		Um...sorry...but there is something about a male in waterproof make up that is just not appealing to me. Never mind the leg scissors in a Speedo.
