I’m not sure if this matters or not. I personally think it’s very strange and arbitrary, but it’s probably important to practioners of the art/sport. Anyway “synchronized swimming” has been renamed as “artistic swimming”. Not sure if that warrants an alteration to her occupation list though. But I figured if the Olympics took the time to acknowledge the renaming, it was worth me mentioning it here.
