Originally posted by exstasie Also, another thing with the diving, they commentators "well the diver was slightly off there, but since the judges are sitting to the side of the swimmers, they aren't able to see that deduction..." That is considered fair judging??? How is that even possible for an olympic event. A diver will be able to score better than what they should've just because they judges are sitting in an appropriate position?? (it's across the board, not just for a specific diver).

Dude you're listening to Anne Monimy (sp?) and her "homer" colour commentary. I've pretty much watched every single diving competition and I have to say she is annoying as hell. When a canadian diver misses a dive she says "Well that was a very good dive for Alexander, considering its not his strongest dive and he should get some good marks from the judges". When a chinese diver goes and they went slightly off on their entry she will say "Well he went over vertical a bit but there was little splash because he is smaller than Alexander. Also they don't have instant reply like we do so they may have missed the slight error."

She is fucking horrible. Alexander deserved the silver medal. There is no judging scandal in diving. Every winner deserved to win. The chinese divers are in a class of heir own.

What you say does make sense about the commentating...just saying what they were saying and thought there was some validity too it! But I do agree with you that Chinese are in a league of their own. It's unreal how well they do in diving and how they end up 40-60 points higher then the silver medal position!




So in the Men's 200M, apparently the guy who won Silver was disqualified as well! So the Silver and Bronze winners were both disqualifed...Craziness! So Dix ended up with a Bronze!



PS. Women's Beach Volleyball is on right now...in the Rain!! dear god!!
