Synchronized swimming at the 1992 Summer Olympics
Solo		women
Duet		women

At the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, two events in synchronized swimming were contested, both for women only.

In the solo competition, a judge accidentally entered a score of 8.7 instead of 9.7 for Sylvie Fréchette, costing her first place. After appeals by the Canadian Olympic Committee, her medal was upgraded to a gold. Kristen Babb-Sprague, the beneficiary of the judge's error, was not demoted but retained her own gold medal.^[1] This was the last time that solo synchronized swimming was included in the Olympic program.
