I know - I watched the women the day before. My favorite part was that the announcers had no idea what was going on and was more or less just guessing the whole time. Also the feeding stations

The feeding and drinking stations were awesome.

I can think of little more unpleasant, and I moderately enjoy running

On the 14 yr old diver from China who had a handful of "perfect" dives......I'm sure she's got great form and all that, but she's got a lot less volume falling from the sky than any of the others.  
So yeah, she's going to create a tiny splash.

Did you actually watch her dive?

Perfect scores are given for much more then the splash

She is scary good

Yes, but if 2 divers have identically perfect dives, the one with 40% of the body mass is going to win.

If you say so

but in this case she set a world record score and nobody was near her

no one else got a perfect score on a dive and she did it 4 times

Dominate 3-0 performance by US womens vb against Serbia in semis.   Crushed Boskovic, the world's best Opp hitter.    Ive never seen better passing in a big match, and the middles arrived to boot.  

Will play Brazil v South Korea winner.

Gopher heavyweight wrestler (and defending NCAA champ) Gable Steveson scores two takedowns in the last 12 seconds of the bout to take the gold medal away from the defending Olympic champ.
