Diving at the Pan American Games 2019

[orangeman 2,877]

I've never seen anyone go into an armstand like the Brazilian girl just did.  She didn't seem to have much control over it before going down, either.

MCKay way overscored for that dive in round 2

Really?  I thought it was underscored live, but on replay I thought the score was fair.

She lost the line in the end, loose her legs, so this should have been a 6.5-7.0 imo.

I wouldn't have been surprised by 7's, but maybe I'm biased.  Maybe I need to see it again.

Well it's nothing personal, but this will be a close competition so every 0.5 more or less will definitely affect the result.

For example, that was a flop by Agundez 3.5-4.0 

 

However Benfeito and Schnell were fairly judged, maybe the former closer to the eights, if not for the loosened entry.

[orangeman 2,877]

Well, no arguing that McKay's last dive was very good.  

[mrv86 3,269]

See, in comparison, McKay's performance was closer to that 8.5 awarded by judges, but the 9 was a little much.

 

Orozco was underscored, that deserved a unanimous 7.5 score.

Of course it's not personal.  Like I said, my opinion of the dive went down on the replay, so maybe it'd go down even more if I watched it again.  Every point counts.
