Viva Mexico!!
Second silver medal and very well deserved, the girls fought for the medal that third and fifth dive were awesome!!
Today is Paola´s birthday, she turns 26 what a present for her, a second medal and this makes her another first in our sport´s history as she becomes the first female athlete in our country to win 2 olympic medals
And I think that Alejandra becomes the youngest olympic medal winner ever for Mexico
I am excstatic!!!Skary Babs: "Today in the original dance some top couples did mistakes...(turns to Maurizio) Maurizio?"

Win, place, or show, Troy and Kristian did a fantastic job thru all 6 rounds! Their synchronization and entries were superb (even if their DD was not the highest).
And we wait.............

China assured another gold, but the other medals not certain.

Even the Chinese flags in the stand is bigger. LOL Russia with silver bronze still uncertain.

It's interesting that they seem to handle pressure like it's no big deal in diving, but not at all in (women's) gymnastics. Maybe their divers can teach their gymnasts a few things about that. Originally Posted by allezfred

I Just Don't Know What to Say
If they had passed away a day or two before the Olympics..ok. But more than a year? and that her mother was fighting breast cancer and they didn't tell that either
