Quoted from cdnpinbacon:You know their names Law?. I Will root for them!
3M Syncro Dive & Hixon is his diver; Strangely each diver has their own coach.
He'll be the coach w/ the tattoo pumping his arms. I've seen some of the dives but not spoiling anything ,( for myself) till it's on prime Time tonighty
Quoted from Mike_J:The Olympics seemed more special in the 70s and 80s. I’m not sure why.
Because there was 1/100th the media choices you have now. Try to tell people when I was a kid in the 80s if you stayed up late enough tv channels turned themselves off; look at me like I'm crazy.

I can see arguments both ways. The problem is, what the heck is a "Professional Pole Vaulter?"
Makes sense basketball men could be college only and you might get a Miracle on Ice and that's great; but then you have have 200 guys sitting around that are better than the players in the Olympics and isn't the point to have the best sportspeople?
