Syncronized Diving
This is a sport that I did not know existed until this years Olympics. Two people spend four years training to dive in unison for a gold medal. I am not completely sure on all of the rules for this competition, but it seems things like hitting the water at the same time as your partner, coming out of your tucks at the same time, and starting precisely at the same time are the things that count. I was awe-struck as I watched part of this event and wondered how many hours were spent training to know your diving partner well enough to know his/her every move. Kinda creepy but kinda cool.
