    The judges gave him a score of zero. How unfair is that, he did hit the water.

    Something screwed up his rotation because his legs separate slightly and then open to a scissors position. He doesn’t get complete rotation and lands (waters?) flat on his back. Maybe he pulled a hamstring.

    IOTw will probably have 50 comments on the fact that this diver made a mistake.
    But on Gibb’s and Carney’s comments on the outrageous defense of the lies by Joe Soptic on the “fact” that his wife died because Mitt Romney laid him off receives 13 comments on Gibbs and 15 comments on Carney.
    Nobody really seems to give a shit!

    Moe, I choose not to participate while someone is commiting political suicide.

    Looked like extra torque caused by fart propulsion.

    Hog Caller: I have it on good faith that Harry Reid was in attendance and that is where the fart came from… a big juicy one.

    Then again, maybe the coach said “Do a back fart.”

    Was this from this year? Is he from the US? That looked painful and a tad embarrassing…
