Synchronized diving awarded medals today and unfortunately US divers Kelci Bryant and Ariel Rittenhouse finished right out of the medals. The Chinese team took gold, the Russian pair took silver, and the German team edged out the Americans to take the bronze.
The one thing I was amazed at was the precision of the dives – they really made everything look so easy. It was also interesting to hear that Kelci Bryant took the path of many elite athletes – leaving home to train to achieve her dream.
The divers also had fun visiting the Great Wall of China and there are photos of the girls doing handstands and walking on their hands along the Great Wall (see photos). Its great to see that the athletes are getting the opportunity to take in some of the sights, culture and fun while they are in China.
