Heymans second in diving at the moment.
CBC (female commentator):
"She's not strong enough, I don't think women should be doing this dive."
Bet there'll be a lot of flack taken for that, I'm sure, whether it's true or not.

Heh, I noticed that too. To be fair, in any of these sports, both men and women continue to push the envelope of what can be done, and at some point there are people doing routines that they shouldn't be doing. But given how badly she missed, she probably shouldn't be doing that dive.
