People are falling off of high ledges and landing in water and the scoring is completely incomprehensible, it's Olympic diving

We had an olympic dive tower at my highschool but kids werent allowed to use it and everyone said it was cause one time a kid did a belly flop off the top tier and it split his chest open. During the swimming unit of PE each year the really old fat PE teacher would do a a backflip off of the middle platform Anyways, i think diving looks fun

Caught up on the 3m sync vod, Canada did really freaking well! (China going in assumed as the winner of course, they are just... the best at this).

It’s hilarious when even the Canadian announcers call the final Canadian dive as “Yay! That should clinch silver!” And just concede that gold would take an inconceivable miracle.

A question I've had for a while: why do divers rinse themselves off after diving? Is it to wash off the chlorine?

To stay warm.

They keep talking about the entry but as a diving philistine they all look p good to me Is the ideal entry your entire body being perpendicular to the water?

God help me I am invested in these 3m springboard dives now. Can't not root for Tall Jamaican Guy and Bearded Russian Guy.

It’s kinda crazy to me how the two Chinese divers are like 50 points ahead of the next closest

Badger of Basra posted:It’s kinda crazy to me how the two Chinese divers are like 50 points ahead of the next closest A few days ago one of the announcers casually mentioned that Chinese divers have such a high reputation that small mistakes from them can get brushed over. They are brilliant but there is a little bit of score inflation going on because the expectation is that they are going to put up 80+ dives every single time. Sadly Tall Jamaican Guy did not move on, but Bearded Russian Guy did.

Diving is so intense. One hosed up dive and you're going from 2nd to 10th. Crazy. I love it.

This is called “ripping it” and it also makes for lots of good jokes.

(Leon Taylor saying this is 1/4 of the reason I watch diving- another 1/4 is him making GBS threads on the judges for going easy on the Chinese divers- the rest is good clean diving fun though).
