I would love to have her and Ken Chertow announcing!

The diving woman is bad, but the gymnastics pair are the worst. They don't explain anything.

And yes, the scores the U.S. men's team received were fair, because the difficulty wasn't as high as the Chinese team

The scores on the diving seemed inconsistent. If you are the Gold Medal favorite (i.e. China) your scores are going to be higher for the same quality dive as an unknown.

Another random thought is: How the hell can the judges judge those dives? They happen so fast.

The diving lady was so bad, I just muted and turned on some music.

I don't have a problem with synchronized diving in and of itself. It's pretty cool when you aren't listening to the announcer with the annoying voice. BUT when wrestling only has seven weights per style, I have a problem. If you put ten weights back, and add some for women, then SD can stay.

" It's pretty cool when you aren't listening to the announcer with the annoying voice."

Are you watching womens platform? She just compared the Canadian team to the Chinese team. The Chinese make very little splash, then the Canadians "are not as streamlined" as the Chinese.
Admittedly they've got a bulge or two, but you just don't say that stuff to 60 million people.
