I don't think calling every doubles event a team event is entirely fair :p 

 

If they would both dive individually and the points of the man and woman are added together, that would be a real team event. Synchronized diving is a whole different ball game :p

Yes, diving is no ball game, I know. Shut it :d 

 

 

Well, it's not like tennis/table tennis where doubles introduce a whole new level. This is two people jumping at the same time. :d

 

Besides, how often do you synchronizingly dive with someone in real life? :p

Just as often as I play tennis (on a table or not) together with someone against two other people in real life :p 

 

Doubles tennis is just two people playing tennis at the same side of the net against two other people. I mean, if you're gonna look at it like that... :d 

 

Synchronized diving definitely introduces a new level, more so than for example swimming 100 or 200 meters. 

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!

But tennis players have to play as a team in doubles, as in react to situations etc. Diving is just starting at the same time.

 

I like the synchro diving competitions, but only when same gender competes. Every other multiple person competition in diving is a joke, because diving is primarily an individual sport.

And that's where you're wrong :evil:

Only individual competitions existed for around 100 years. So yeah, it's individual. :p

You're individual we.gif
