[@natrix0]

[@liiam2200]

@@lukairrahe They're lifting someone out of the water, that takes much more force than moving someone in the water. Try holding a 10 pound weight in the air, then try holding a 10 pound weight underwater.

[@llamanessover9000]

@@lukairrahe Yeah but you need to throw them into the air without being able to push of the ground. Even though they're lighter, you need to tread water really hard.

Bea F.M I won’t argue that figure skating isn’t corrupt, but their skaters are extremely talented and help pave the way for future skaters (first female to reach 80 in a short, first female to do quads in competition, Plushenko will be remembered as one of the best skaters....)

[@-VoDkAsVengeance-]

In all honesty it's still a bit funny even to people who love it. Female Olympians are forced to smile or there will be a point deduction, so a lot of the times these swimmers are making really ridiculous faces because they're pasting a smile over the face they're making for trying to see through the chlorine and not suffocate. There's also a lot of parts of Olympic sports like this that are less about visuals and more about technique and skill, like the part where they lift a girl up and she seems to just wildly flail her arms and leg, that make for some silly moments.

You put chapstick on your eyes and then put a layer of creme makeup, then a layer of powder makeup, and then you spray it with this clear overcoat stuff (not really sure what it is called I just know it burns if you open your eyes before it dries). And after all that it still comes off...
