Synchronised diving

[Infomaniac]

Can anyone tell me why some of the synchronised divers have two brad brown bands marked on their backs?

[Infomaniac]

Or even "broad brown bands"

i would guess it's muscle strapping

[JonnyBoy12]

No, I do not know why they have two brown broad beans on their backs.

burn marks of the boards they hit on the way down?

[heathfield]

It's a sticky tape to help support the muscles. Footballers also use it...

what they do now for the butterfly used to be known as the Dolphin stroke , when di it change

[ChuckFickens]

It's always been the butterfly, which is a combination of the two arms moving together and the combined leg kick, which is known as the dolphin kick.

The guy who invented the butterfly stroke should have been put up against a wall...

[ChuckFickens]

It is a tricky stroke to master, I used to be pretty good at it though, it's a killer on the shoulders though.

Or better still, pinned up and put in a glass display box.
