Hooray!

The synchronised swimming is on!  I love this event.  I never see it except at the Olympics and I was worried I'd missed it.  I love it because everyone is always so snooty about it.  I love that they wear makeup and jewellery and that they lose marks if they stop smiling.  The Japanese girls are amazing in their interpretation of the music.  I have no idea how they manage to keep time with the music while they're underwater.

The greatest Olympian of all?

Natalie du Toit from South Africa who came 16th in the women's 10,000m open water swimming race.

With one leg.

Beat that, Michael Phelps.

Now this deserves an Olympic medal...
