Diving

One of the most picturesque sports at the Olympics, yet one of the most dangerous. I’m always worried the divers are going to hit their heads. It scares me just watching – I can’t imagine what it feels like on that 10-meter platform. I remember Fu Mingxia completely dominating in diving when I was in grade school and into high school; China has always been very good at this event.
