"I can do that!"

I over heard the guy two bar stools down say that last night. So I looked to see what he was referring to. The Olympics were broadcasting men's synchronized diving from the spring board.

I watched the replay. It was a simple pike dive with no special twists or flips. To my untrained eye I saw

• the two leave the board at the same time.
• Rise to the same height.
• Pike at the same time
• Begin their descent at the same time.
• Unpike at the same time.
• Enter the water, vertically, at the same time.
• Make no splash.

Um, no you can't do that.
