Abel was in 3rd place on last dive and got passed by the Italian just like in the synchro, probably no medal for us today

Yes i Just watched.  Sigh

Abel was robbed.

Just got home and watched the last dives on replay.  Poor Jenn.  Two 4ths.  Lost on the last dive both times.

And frankly, as a diving fan, I'm so effing sick of the Chinese.

Well, what I meant was it takes so much of the drama out of it.  In every event, you know the Chinese will finish 1-2.  So everyone else is just vying for bronze.  It's just boring as a fan.  And then you know they're going to nail every single dive, so there's no drama there.  Boring.  At least on the women's side.  At least the USA took us to OT in 2010.  And our women had to stage an epic comeback in 2014.

Anyway, big game in basketball.  Winner will face Turkey in the quarters, loser will face France and be on the same side of the bracket as the USA.  This is the first real test for the Canadians.

And Pavan/Bansley are out in Beach volleyball?  Not a good day so far.
