Qualification[]

Main article: Artistic swimming at the 2020 Summer Olympics – Qualification

For the team competitions, the best ranked NOC in each of the five continental championships, with the exception of the host country Japan, qualified. The remaining NOCs are able to qualify for the two highest-ranked spots at the 2019 World Aquatics Championships and the three highest-ranked spots at the Olympic Qualification Tournament. For the duet, the best ranked NOC in each of the five continental championships that did not have a qualified team is to be assured of a secured spot, while the other seven top-ranked NOCs are to be selected through the Olympic Qualification Tournament. All 10 NOCs that had already qualified in the team event automatically qualify a duet (which much consist of members of the team).

Favorites[]

Leading up to the Olympic games in 2020 the Artistic Swimming World Championships happened in 2019. The Russian team won 9 out of the 10 gold medals during the championships. This put them in a clear favorite to dominate the Olympic games. Two teams that had a chance of taking a gold would be China and Ukraine. They both put up impressive performances at the World Championships and Ukraine was the one team to beat the Russians by winning the Highlight Routine competition. These three teams were sure to make the Olympic games exciting while fighting for the top spot.[2]
