Synchronized Diving was the worst yesterday.
The Chinese won the Gold by showing up.

They were great as usual but they did had one HORRIBLE dive... seriously the most out of synch I saw from any of the contenders. I put a freeze frame on the DVR to show one diver was literally half way through the water before the other one even touched the water. They got a 9.0 on the synch portion of the scoring. I yelled at the tv and turned it off. I can't imagine what it must be like for parents of kids in judged sports.

I was annoyed that the Italians were robbed of a medal when the Canadian team was totally out-of-synch on their approach and on many of their dives.
