Anyone feel too much like a creep or a little weird watching the Chinese women/girls diving?

Watched the women’s 10 meter platform diving.
FAAARKK! Impressive stuff, watching the women press into a handstand on the edge of the platform before launching into a double somersault, geez

Watched that today. There's 7 judges, so 28 total scores given for 4 dives. 24 of those scores were perfect 10s. Pretty incredible.

It’s gnarly how good and what they can do at such a young age.

its almost unfair tho. Like comparing a pencil going into the water vs a stumpy log.

Marathon on now. American Galen Rupp hanging tough. 4:58 mile pace. Anybody here ran a 4:58 mile? I tried to run the world record pace for one lap (440yards). Wiped me out.
