"I am super happy that Kazan has such a wonderful site for staging international multidisciplinary aquatics competitions. Kazan can and should provide the athletes from Russia with an opportunity to realise their full potential.
To me, as an athlete, it has always been vital to feel the sense of unity through sport, it is an essential feature whose absence makes it impossible to achieve sporting heights.
So, upcoming “Solidarity Games” will undoubtedly become a wonderful festival of sport, unity, and new emotions."

In 2017, FINA officially renamed the sport from ‘synchronised swimming’ to ‘artistic swimming’.
