Watch duets synchronized swimming at Olympics 2024 and behold the most agile pairs of competitors of this poetic sport, which has now been part of the Olympics for four decades. Below we have all the information on how to watch synchronised swimming duets at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games from anywhere in the world with details on worldwide TV channels, broadcasters and free streams.

While the Russian team have dominated the sport in recent years, they're barred from competing this time. China seems to be their natural successors and have already shown prowess in the team routines earlier this week with a dominant goldd-inning performance. The duet technical routine on Friday will put Wang Liuyi and Wang Qianyi’s accuracy to the test, where they will be expected to show a high level of flexibility and attention to detail.

The duet free routine on Saturday will see competitors getting more creative and showcase their own choreography – their performances will be judged on execution and precision. Japan’s Moe Higa and Tomoka Sato are eager for gold. Japan took bronze in home waters last time. While Team GB have never won a medal in this discipline, there are hopefuls this year in Kate Shortman and Izzy Thorpe
