Just finished watching the Men's 3m synch final and I have to say it was more exciting than I thought it would be. In the third round America managed to pull from 7th place to 2nd, but all the action happened on the final dives. One of the divers on the Chinese team (who had a commanding lead toward gold) failed his dive dropping China out of gold contention. Then one guy on the Russian team hit his feet on the diving board. Greece came out and did a great diving putting them into first. Then the American team was up. All they needed to beat Greece was 8.0 and 8.5's, but they messed up their dives bad, under-rotating and making huge splashes, and ended up in 5th. Leaving Greece to win the gold.
