And how the hell do you "score" such routines? They all look the same to me. Yet you got people scoring them to hundredths of a decimal point. What I also don't understand is that when somebody "falls off" the apparatus, the announcer gasps (like a little girl) and says what a shame.
If I was a gymnastic, I would just pretend that "falling off" was part of my routine. I would just continue without pausing and make believe that this was what I had been practicing the past 11 years. They would score me all "tens" for sure because I'd be so sure of myself.
Then again, there is no way I could ever get my body to do that kind of stuff. Plus, it's kind of gay. I suppose if you are a girl, it's okay but how do men get in those weird positions? It is really kind of creepy.
And the diving makes no sense whatsoever. How do you score a dive? When I dive, I just hold my nose and fall to the water below, trying to make as big a splash as I can. They should give you MORE points for making a big splash. For this is a manly way to dive. If I'm going to dive, I want to make as big a splash as possible and make all the girls in the front seats wet - just like Shamu the whale (who is cool). Maybe one of the judges will throw me a fish. I like fish.
LOL. Spoken like a true, red-blooded, heterosexual American.
And if I ever see male synchronized diving appear again on my TV screen, I'm cancelling my satellite service, dashing my HD screen to bits with a sledgehammer, and taking up a new life as an Amish farmer.
If that doesn't work I'll gore my eyes out with a red-hot steak knife.
