Anyway, glad that Canada picked up a couple of medals I suppose...even if it is a pretty lame and unnecessary event.
I kind of think that getting rid of unsynchronized diving might be better. Synchronization kind of adds a degree of difficulty.

Having said that, the whole sport seems like a bit of a sham to me due to the judging system. One of the dives this morning got both a 4.0 and an 8.0 for execution... and those were the scores that were kept! If it's that subjective, what's the point?
