Congratulations to Courtney Musson an alumnus of the Department of Human Movement Science at the Nelson Mandela University and currently employed as the Lab Technician has been selected to be one of six technical controllers for the Synchronised Swimming event at the Paris Olympics 2024.

The Artistic Swimming event takes place from the 5th to the 10th of August.

Courtney will be part of the difficulty panel and the synchronisation panel.

The difficulty panel will assess the routines live and check if the routine is swum according to what the coach declares. For the synchronisation panel, the technical controllers will judge the number of synchronisation errors during the routine. The technical controller will rotate between the two roles throughout the event.

Courtney herself a former South African synchronised swimmer feels really excited to have been selected for this role. We wish her all of the best in Paris!
