The 10 meter diving tower is still, and always, utterly fucking terrifying. I'm not sure you could pay me to climb up and jump off one. Only need to have seen 1 guy hit his head once to expect it every single dive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 And I'm not bothering to screen shot this one, but it's already becoming a wiki fight Quote Lilly King (born February 10, 1997) is a U.S. competition swimmer who specializes inbreaststroke. She won the 100 meter breaststroke at the 2016 Rio Olympics. She did it with no class or sportsmanship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Man Known as Dan Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I don't buy that was "posturing" or whatever. Just looked like a guys warm up. Tons of drama about nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diving, not a chance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuetsar Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Hell I'm such a wimp now, that going off a high dive diving board scares me. I've never had the guts to do the high platform, and barely could do the lowest one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 For all the jokes about Michael Phelps and being a pot head, it is clear that you do not want to fuck with him at game time. That look would have made Miz Girl crap herself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Chad Le Clos swimmer tried all sorts of tactics to get Phelps nervous (even shadow boxing in front of him) and he just gave him a look that would have made Miz Girl crap herself. Until he brings out a dwarf Michael Phelps with a bong and a bag of Cheetos he hasn't tried everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 From the little I have watched this year, I have to think playing water polo is one of the toughest in terms of cardio. it looks like an easy game since kids and adults have played it at local swimming pools all the time but imagine doing all of that in 10 - 15 feet of water with tons of contact and I believe a shot clock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
