He had one of the highest scores in the finals, and even shot a 10.9. We were 0.3 behind on bronze, but his last shot was <10 sadly. Also really tense fight between the Italian and the Romanian guy. | ||

Should be replaced with something where you actually see something happening. because olympic disciplines should be chosen based on what looks good on tv.

The countries hold the qualifiers to decide who goes, this is the real deal. For a different perspective, some sports dont have preliminaries and eliminations rounds, it's just 1 shot and done, like the marathon, do you consider those that finish out of top 20 in marathon as not making it to the olympics? no, in this case you are wrong. The gymnastic QUALIFIERS are what you watched, these are not preruns or whatever, they are the qualifiers other sports had months ago/had by giving time limits. I know its confusing, but this is just how it is. | ||

Why are there even 4 disciplines of sync. diving though? It seems excessive and I haven't heard about any people liking it above regular diving... | ||
