Football, baseball and basketball. Those, to me, are the only true sports. The rest are games. But synchronized swimming has got my head in knots. 

It's a delicate balance between ballet and swimming. There is water from a pretty pool spraying everywhere, while the limbs of very fit women are flying here and there. There's also a ton of touching. What is not to like?

My only problem, now, is what do I do once the Olympics are over? Where will I get my synchronized swimming fix? Do I need to wait another four years? Do they even compete outside the Olympics? Is there a 24 hour synchronized swimming channel that I am not hip to? I need to figure this out, because now that I am hooked on the swimming, I can't go back. I won't.

Huh. who knew they could hear the music under the water due to underwater speakers?

As much as I do like this sport, I gotta say that I'm not a big fan of those clamps they have on their nose. Not once in my life have I thought, "Sure that girl is hot, but I'd really be into her if she had her nosed pinched down by a clamp." I just don't envision myself ever saying that.
