Very glad for them. I was rooting for them, thinking of a documentary about Mexican cliff divers, and the story of one diver teaching his daughter to be a cliff diver. Sweet story ... cliff diving is scary and risky.

ten meter synchronized diving? Never even heard of it before. Might as well have competitive hop scotch at this point.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diving

In major diving meets, including the Olympic Games and the World Championships, platform
diving is from the 10 meter height.

Synchronized diving was adopted as an Olympic sport in 2000. In this event, two divers form a team and attempt to perform dives simultaneously.

so far overall mexico has had a regular olympics.

serrano was inches away from getting a medal in archery.

and avitia, a 14 year old girl was one win away from the semis also in archery.

diving is still the strong sport for us. the one man canoe could also give a medal to mexico.

boxing could give us another medal.

20km eder sánchez jut got in in 14th....

i could continue with the list... it isn't necessary...
