Go Team USA

August 11th
Hi all, Mens 10 meter synch, despite doing the second highest scoring dive of the contest 93 points on their final dive a back two and on half with two and one half twists, the young men wound up in the fifth position a mere five points from the bronze medal score.  The contest was a barn burner with many different teams in the bronze and silver medal contention positions throughout the contest.  We will all keep scratching and clawing our way to the podium and team USA remains with its chin up!  Womens 10 meter synchro tomorrow!

August 10th
Hi all, The first two US competitors in the synchronized womens three meter dove quite well today narrowly missing a bronze medal and landing in fourth.  Four points separated this team from the bronze.  The girls although dissapointed realize that they dove well.  Mens 10 meter synchro on the docket for tomorrow.

Hi all, I hope this short note finds you well! 

Update from Beijing.  All goes well here! 

Training has been fabulous with the best training getting done today.  The athletes are dialing in and look great.  Today was the first day back in the water after a 1 and a half day excursion out of the Olympic Village.  One of our partners arranged through USA Diving to take us to a Chinese acrobatic show and then dinner followed by a stay in fine hotel.  The following day included a trip to the Great Wall followed by lunch in an eclectic village resteraunt called the schoolhouse where we also experienced the art of glass blowing, a presentation by several chinese glass blowing artists.  This was followed by a fabulous pizza dinner at a Belgium pub, no alcohol involved, but great pizza.  We stayed another night in the hotel and then returned to the pool and village this morning (Thursday).
