If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

Awesome choke by Laugher! With a good last jump he could've set a new world record and even with an average jump he could've easily won the gold medal. Still i think he shouldn't be completely sad about this competition. Looking at the advantage he had over the chinese guys before the last jump i would say that it will be very hard for the chinese guys to catch up to him until Tokyo.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

Did China drop out in the mixed 3m springboard?

 

yeah, they did it at the last minute...

and I don't know what, but something must have happened*, because they were supposed to take part also into this competition (with their individual world champions, not with a B-pair)...

*probably a slight injury to one of the two during the warm-up...:mumble:

 

or maybe FINA paid them to leave at least 1 gold medal to the rest of the world...:yikes::rofl::facepalm:

FINA probably did something indeed. It's a very bad image for the sport if someone wins all dozen events.

 

Interestingly, artistic swimming and diving are probably the only Olympic sports with 10+ medal events where a gold medal sweep is possible. Makes you wonder. :p
