Olympic events

Okay, so, maybe I'm just a sucker for anything that's sports. I have watched more than my share of NBC's Olympic coverage over the past few days BUT there is a place where I draw the line. What is synchronized diving doing in there? We spend more time watching these people take showers, first of all, then actually competing and, then, every dive looks the same to me. Is this really a sport? Now, if they were doing cannonballs, might be more of an event, don't you think? Of course, when they switch to women's beach volleyball, I'm all eyes and my wife is all eyes rolling. I love this time of year....:)
