Diving boards have almost completely disappeared in the USA. This is probably the main reason that the US no longer dominates diving in the Olympics and other athletic competitions. In 2024, China won 11 gold medals in diving events while the US got only one.

Ditto. 76. What no longer exists from the ‘70s is youth. But I sure wouldn’t want to go back! I would take my hair back, though.

I recently bought a Bissell from WM that has the retractable cord feature. Freaks the dogs out.
