I fuck this stupid sport. No way , I don't understand why we do our program so bad.  This is a big disappointment after yesterday's 0.001 in men's 4*100

Fantastic perfomance from Spain, 25 points from the Olympic Quota, first reserve.....

FINA should have 8 teams for swimming relay and give 12 places for Diving.  So many good divers must stay home. Many poor swimmers are trying to qualify in swimming relay final, even all we know that Australia, USA, Great Britain etc. will have a gold.

So China winning gold in diving is going to come as a bit of a shock to you then. ?

Very funny. No, but it is more exciting than 16 relays, where for 8 is problem for qualify to final. Because  5-6 countries are quite safe. 8 relays for event is good number.  This places should be added to diving. Diving needs diversity.

no way...rather, they should scratch synchro diving from the olympic schedule (4 gifted gold medals to China, with no real competition, unless they make some improbable mistake)...

Well, it was good performance for our divers. I hope that they will repeat it in individual event and we will have shocking quota.

No rhythmic gymnastics. Easy 2 golds for Russia

You only need about 16 additional athlete quotas (four for each event) to create a 12 nation synchronized diving event without suffocating the individual event. Most nations that would rank 9-12 would already qualify at least one athlete in the individual event.

 

Of course, synchronized diving along with some of the larger rowing events have some of the lowest participation rates (partly due to the low number of Olympic quotas) at the Olympics so it is more likely for those events to be cut all together.
