I've seen Noah Williams. Jack Laugher and Anthony Harding at the British Championships at Sandwell Aquatics Centre in May 2024, and also non-Olympic divers such as Maya Kutty and Desharne Bent-Ashmeil.

A first ever medal in artistic swimming for team GB:

 

Kate Shortman and Izzy Thorpe won Great Britain's first ever Olympic medal in artistic swimming and said their duet silver medal was worth all the "really hard times" they had gone through because of poor funding.

 

The childhood friends, whose mothers also used to compete as a pair in the sport, performed their Rising Phoenix routine to score 294.5085 - for a combined total of 558.5367 in Paris.

 

China's Liuyi Wang and Qianyi Wang took gold (566.4783) and the Netherlands' Bregje de Brouwer and Noortje de Brouwer won bronze (558.3963).

 

Shortman and Thorpe, who said their UK Sport funding was only reinstated less than a year ago, had sat fourth after Friday's Big Ben-themed technical routine before delivering a high-energy free routine.
