diving

Last week the girls and I found out that the Olympic US Diving team trials were being held in Federal Way. We decided to go and see what it was like. We had a good time. The dives of course are quite amazing. The men went first with the 3m springboard. I didn’t know they did 6 rounds of dives. That took 2 hours as it was only semi-finals and there were 18 divers. We got to see only 1 round of the women’s 10m platform but that was super cool too. It was pretty exciting to be there with the judges, scoring, instant replays and cheering. Last time they were here was in 2000, so who knows where we’ll be next time. Keeping the girls up until 11pm was worth it.
