I'm not. Women's diving in Mexico has returned to its past, with average divers, but no one capable of challenging top contenders.

 

Plus corruption in the federation, summed with idiotic qualification system for Pan Am, seriously ruined our chances in the rest of the events.


I'm surprised Espinoza still competes. She's, like, way past 30 now, isn't she?

33, just like Rommel Pacheco.

 

They have been competing at senior level for the past 16 years.

 

However, I really dislike her. She's part of a scam on public funds that affect most other Mexican athletes, in which our head of sport, former world champion Guevara, has robbed more in the past 8 months, that the past national sports director did in his four years tenure (and that was a lot).

Good score for the Canadians on their first dive.

 

Mexicans were overscored, as García opened before Berlín. Also overscored Colombian pair.

 

But's it's only round one, real competition in synchro starts with third dive.

Cuba and Colombia were overscored in both sincronicity and execution.

 

Meanwhile Bromley and Zsombor Murray hurt their teams chances with their defective executions, but guess the judges decided to be a little lenient. They went also lenient with Berlín dive.

And the king of bad diving Frandiel Gómez :DOM does it again... a total flop.

 

And again, the US had a flop, but now from both divers. Once more, their "synchrony" was overscored. The same for the Brazilian pair, but now these teams will be contesting bronze @thiago_simoes @vinipereira

 

Again judges for the synchro element are idiots... Colombia's dive deserved 5.0 notes... now they also are in contention for a medal (which in this case don't deserve).

 

Canada again, a dive not executed to the Max, and Mexican García also fails his dive. I won't further comment on the synchro judges :zip:

 

But the fight for medals, is open for 5 teams.

After that fifth dive, USA will be probably out of the podium.

 

Total Cuban meltdown... it'll be hard for them to avoid the bottom of the table.

 

Not a clean dive for Brazil, both divers failed their individual jumps. Still, it will be a disaster for them not to finish with bronze

 

Good next to last dive for Canadians, that does not get the notes it should. They'll fight off Brazil for bronze.

 

On a side note, terrible job from organizing committee... another failure in the scoring system.

 

And the last dive from Mexico was pretty good... they'll earn gold except a catastrophe happens.

Very well for the USA in their last dive. Too bad they let it all to their last attempt.

 

And Brazil will get a medal in this event. Congratulations to them @vinipereira @thiago_simoes

 

Excellent dive from the Canadians, but as with USA, those intermediate dives greatly hurt them.

 

And Mexico, thankfully, does good in their last dive, so it's another gold for this delegation.

    • People keep keep saying that Trump is Hitler reincarnated, but all these Day 1 proposals are sensible & unifying.   https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=08IIenrXCRQ     NB video is a parody.  
    • In cross-country there were never mixups like that. And trust me, the cross-country calendar/results page has been one of my most visited pages on all the internet for a few years now, for obvious reasons

    • More AI visualizations of the venues.         
    • I can count for you, but what I will say is that I don't think it was a lot. 
    • Off-topic, when I lived in Beijing there was a park across the street that had all the 2022 pictograms along its fence on the street. They were big and lit up at night. It was really cool, especially because the 2022 pictograms were very unique and creative. 
    • They're not very creative or unique to Italy/Milano, but like others have said, at least they're understandable unlike Paris. These are very generic, though. 
    • National law and sport rules are completely different. Like, there's a law in Canada that if you punch someone in the face you will get charged with battery. But if you're playing hockey and do it, you'll only get 5 minutes in a penalty box. Japan only recognizes gender at birth and this was not an issue in 2020(1).    Any law Trump and the Republicans pass can only apply to governmental organizations, i.e. school competitions. Private sport events, like the NHL, MLB and the Olympics, can still decided who can and cannot participate in what events. If the NHL wants a female goaltender to play, they can do that tomorrow if they want. If the IOC decides Semenya can participate in the female category, then that's their right as a private entity. I'm sure Hitler wasn't happy that Jews, black people and other groups were allowed to participate in 1936, either.    Of course, I've been saying for a long time they should do away with "male" and "female" categories and just have "Over/Under X amount of testosterone" categories. 
    • Yeah, if they have all their FTA* live streams on one page, announced in advance, life will be easier. Before you had to sub to about 7 or 8 YT channels to.know what was on every week.   But the results/events Page is also easier, because previously they used to mix up World Cup & say, Balkan Cup events together.
    • UWW's new rules for change of nationality   this doesn't look great for likes of Bahrain, Albania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Serbia and few more.    still it won't make a huge huge impact for the next Olympic cycle because each NOC still can use 2 mercenaries per style in each tournament but after 2028 it will be reduced to just 1.    some of those countries already have 3 or 4 (or more) Russian mercenaries per style. from now on they have to pick 2 of them for each tournament. I assumed the new rule applies to previous mercenaries too . https://cdn.uww.org/2024-11/change_of_nationality_regulation_eng_oct2024_final.pdf also you can't wrestle for another country without a passport. (UWW allowed that for some years) current non-national wrestlers can continue like that until the end of 2026 though.   it could be better but in general I'm OK with new rules. good job by UWW.
