lol.
I got a kick out of synchronized diving.
I didn't know that existed.

I like diving a lot.

I watched the opening ceremony. It was amazing!

And I also like watching the gymnastics. I saw the China girls perform, and they looked so little~! One of them looked 12, when she's supposedly 16. xP

Synchronized diving? I think I missed that one.

I did watch the freestyle swimming. It almost looked like one of the German guys said "F*ck" after looking at the leader board. It was pretty funny xd

@Ena: Chinese people always look young to me too. The weight lifters always look like really buff little kids o.O  

[Neiina]

uwah, looking young sucks. especially right now in my teens. being flatter-chested doesn't make it any better emo how am I supposed to be "hot" date-able material when I look like a little kid? gonk for the most part guys like older women at this age *sigh*

synchronized diving? aw, darn, I missed it! T__T
I personally am terrified of diving but it looks so cool!
I wonder how people can jump head first towards water without feeling terrified. I took swimming lessons when I was young and I'll never forget the time my instructor forced my whole class to dive off the highest board X__X it was horrific.  

[lilartichoke]

Yeah man. Totally crazy.

It's like hard enough to do those flips and twists and all that by yourself. Now you have to do it exactly like the girl next to you.
Crazy.

I like looking at diving, but I am so afraid of it.
Hitting heads on boards is painful, I'm sure.  

[Hidden Lunar Rose]

I caught some gymnastics and swimming today.

 

[Salmay]

Hurrah for Phelps!

And Hurrah for the THIRTY year old German woman gymnast!!!!!!!

Synchronized diving is awesome.  

[lilartichoke]

Yeah hurray for old people!! lol. jk.


I hate how nbc does the "prime time" olympics... all full of the too long story. Like I saw one for a chinese diver, who was like "I wanted to quit, but they wouldn't let me... Now I have to love it [or I would've killed myself long ago]" That makes me sad, not the whole "I was afraid to dive as a child". Well no kidding. Lots of people are afraid to jump off a 3 meter diving board when they are 5. I'd be afraid and I am far older. gah.

Silly sob stories.
I hate how they mostly only show 1. the americans, 2. the chinese, 3. someone who has the wr or could break it.
I WANT TO SEE THEM ALL!!!!  

[Kinnei]

I've been catching as much of the Olympics as I can. How about that amazing finish in the Men's 400 meter Swimming Relay??? So much for France "smashing" the Americans!!!!

The weight lifting yesterday was pretty cool, especially the 17 year old kid from China. The synchronized divers were beautiful...I just wish the US would have been able to pull off the bronze.

I could go on and on (about Basketball, Beach Volleyball, and how the favored tennis player from Spain had a scare), but I'll stop for now.  

[Eriwain]

I slept throught the diving today. It was on from like 4am T__T
