I've done a back flop off a high dive and it hurts like hell. It also knocks the wind out of you and there is nothing worse then having you body trying to gasp for air when your in the water.

I gave up on Tapatalk a while back. It's crap.

It was on my cellphone a couple of days back, but I do remember the signal being very bad. Not sure why I just kicked in today

When Monkeydad, of all people, mocks you for a duplicate post...sigh

Watching this dive is brutal. Ouch.[/quote]

The commentator on the dive was hilarious. "Looks a bit like the Isle of Mann"

Check out that flag if you haven't.

Huge win for Misty and Kerri to finish their career together in beach volleyball. Gold medal for the 3rd straight Olympics is a pretty amazing feat.

The US women's relay team smoked the competition last night. Wasn't even remotely close and they broke a world record.

She was pointing at the sign before she even crossed. She knew it was going to be a WR.

Sick dive this US kid (Boudia) just did. He's the first American man to win a gold in diving since 1992.



US Women's volleyball had a meltdown of epic proportions. After crushing Brazil in the first set, they got their asses handed to them the following 2 sets giving Brazil the gold.

So. I'm excited for the Spice Girls reunion during the closing ceremony.

That's right, I said it.

They actually did quite well. Seeing as I grew up watching Monty Python and Benny Hill on the BBC, my favorite part was Eric Idle performing "Always look on the bright side of life". Fantastic part in the movie The Life of Brian.

Worst part was Jesse J destroying Freddie Mercury's (Queen) song We Will Rock You. Also, I hope Rio does a better job of their opening/closing ceremonies because what I saw so far sucked. I think they should stay with the bright colors and dance/drums theme. Some parts of their bit were downright awful.
