Olympic Women's Springboard Diving *** NO SPOILERS ***

I think Canada's Jennifer Abel is just lovely! I've been watching the women's springboard comepetition and she is fabulous! She is long and lean and she makes every dive look perfect.

And I love the fact that she is one of very few Black Olympians in this sport.

I don't know where she stands currently in the competition and I don't want to know yet. But damn, she is good!

I love it! I love all Olympic water sports (except water polo . . . boring!)

I was a lifeguard and swimming instructor when I was young so I love almost all pool stuff.

And I, too, have been following all the water stuff (except polo). Wishing I had 1/100 of these athletes’ talent....

Been enjoying the Michael Phelps/Mike Tirico conversations, too.
