It’s one of the only sports where the fight for gender equality is about including males, which could happen for the first time at the Paris Olympics.
Niehaus had never seen men competing at this level before. Few people have, given how recently the gender barrier in this traditionally female sport has started coming down.
And a new scoring system should make the sport, long mired in controversial judging, fairer and more objective, another reason for Prévost’s return. He and Blanchet-Rampling won silver in Markham with a routine they started working on just three months ago. They hope it will take them to the podium at the world aquatics championships in July.
“The highlights looked so much higher, they looked more synchronized,” he said of watching from the stands instead of online. “It’s really cool.” “It’s kind of sad,” Niehaus said. “But it’s still fun. I just wish I had somebody who is like me, who is a guy and at the same skill level.”
