A Chinese guy on the springboard a short time ago...I believe the worst dive / biggest flub I've ever personally witnessed in Olympic competition. Not including actually hitting the board while rotating.

So, since he's Chinese, he's still in the lead, right?

I think Albin Killat of Germany had a horrible dive in 92 that looked a belly flop IIRC.

Are there nice beaches in Riga? Honest question.

Edit: After a quick Google search, yes. Yes there are.

No-but he will make the final and have a clean slate for them to add all those perfect scores when it counts for the medals. I just hate these judging events and would be happy if they only included events that can be either timed or measured.

I'm so glad Mary Carillo can give us a feature on Greenwich time instead of NBC actually showing sports during the Olympics

Re: Official XXX Summer Olympiad: London 2012- Take II

Of course if NBC hadn't of done the feature on the black Brit in the race, who is Rupp's training partner, they could have had time to do a feature on Rupp!!!! Conspiracy!!!! NBC hates white people!!!! And America!!!

George Zimmerman might agree with that last sentiment.

I don't care what you say about Abby Wambach:

Anyone know what the violin song they've been playing in stadiums throughout the Olympics between matches/heats/etc. is? I've heard it many times before and it's been around for awhile. I just can't remember the name of it.

So, just in case anyone was wondering, I found the song.

To say I was disappointed when I heard the rest of the song is an understatement.

Speaking of songs, the one they use when they cut in and out of gymnastics is really **** annoying. Change it up a little.

Ah... Always wondered who did that... I just remember it from the Budweiser commercials a few years ago... And then 28 of the NFL teams using it as kickoff music...

Did it start out like this??

Lol awesome.

Could you imagine if someone did a full-on belly-flop from 10 meters?

They do this from bridges all the time. They're called floaters.

Most would be injured. Broken ribs and such.

Then again, there are those freaks that can jump into pools that are just inches deep from a hundred feet and walk away unscathed.

And some can jump/fall out of windows from many stories up and walk away from it. I have no idea how.
