"she's not biased. she is across the board too damn picky."
Not true. She IS very biased towards Chinese, and she IS NOT too damn picky on American divers! She and some poeple in u.s. media do not have any cradibility to lecture morality or fairness to others, but they surely can show pelple what double standards, deep-down racism and bad sportsmanship are.
A typical China-bashing propaganda machine. In the future, when people look back, they'll certainly ask this question: "how and why did frentic China-bashing become so popular and politically correct in u.s.? Was it one of the biggest racist displays in human history?" People can write a lot about this ridiculous phenomenon and do a lot of research on American psyche.
So, she was twisting a smidge when she enters the water... did the commentator think that maybe its a way of reducing the 'splash' as she enters the pool..... Either way.... dude... that girl deserved a ten!
American gymnastics commentators are as worse as Potter. When Americans have bad form, crossed feet and legs, flat feet, stiff "dance" on floor (if you can call it dance), commentators say "perfect! beautiful! great!", but they use magnify glass to pick every little imperfection in Chinese and other non-Americans to criticize their great performance. They're so rude and biased. Once a Russian gymnast fell off high bar, an American commentator said: "He just fell like a fly!"
She's... a fkin idiot. She can only see the TINY and I mean TINY twist because its fkin slow downed for her to see it.. cuz she sees the replays... the judges can't see the TINY twist when the dive is in full motion.
Doesn't deserve 10s? stfu u sould beyond stupid. I'd like to see u do better dumbass!
Cynthia Rowley (sp) has ALWAYS given unfavorable comments towards Non-US divers. Understandably so since she is American and let's face it China has been dominating this sports and she's quite bitter about it.
She is the most annoying announcer that I have ever heard in my life and she pisses me off cause she does like every single diving event known to man and she just bitches the whole entire time and I FUCKING HATE HER!!!!!!!!
the commentator said the dive was amazing, then when the slow-mo come changes her mind because she see a twist, disagrees with the judges when she didnt see it in the first place !
Stupid commentator. Pointing out every subtle mistake that no one else sees and turning a blind eye to the good things everyone sees. It's because Chen is Chinese I'll bet.
You all have to be chinese because I saw what she was talking about. You are all wanting to disagree with her so you say you don't see it. Well open your eyes.
i understood what she was talking about coming from a diver myself, but seriously it had just the slightest twist going in the water, but the rest of the dive is just awesome. 10s across the board!!!!!!!!!!!
i have heard that commentator before. its like shes watching a different dive performed by someone else and commentating on that because her comments and wht the dive actually looked like differ so greatly.
Of course you disagree with score, i have to say the American commentators where just ridiculously critical and quite frankly it was just blatant envy.
I think the SPORTSNETWORK agree with most of the viewers' comments. Cynthia Potter was no longer as commentator for the recent world diving. Anybody knows who is the new commentator, and is Cynthia Potter leaving for good, I hope she is?
i watched her commentating on the olympics. you can tell she's super critical of the chinese team and encouraging to the american team. she is not a partial commentator and thank god she is not a judge otherwise she will give "sympathy" points to the amer team
i mean cynthia potter know what shes talking about...but she can never just say "that was a nice dive!" you know? theres always something wrong with it
u can tell the reporter is stumbling over her words and is desperately trying to find an excuse for an imperfection in the dive. y cant she just except the dive??????
Cynthia Potter actually likes Chen a lot and said Chen's last dive was the most impressive moment of the Olympics. I think she criticizes everyone other than the Americans, probably because she knows the American divers and coaches well personally, and the station and US Diving don't want her to be critical of Americans. But she doesn't say the Americans are under-placed.
It's sooo obvious she wants to be a judge, not a broadcaster! She's too critical of judges though. They don't have replay!
your the one that commented the olympic trials talking about how great our americans were... well they got tons of tens that were undeserved, and look at how great we did in the olympics. china owns. get over it
Lol even though I'm Canadian I can't help but notice some slight bias against the Chinese when Cynthia Potter does the commentating. She criticizes pretty much all their dives, when even I can acknowledge many of those as amazing. The Chinese are one of the best in the world and not for no reason.
@skyflame000 I agree with you! There is also a reason why this female is only a commentator and NOT the judge; Perhaps, she shouldn't even be a commentator either. She should just keep her bias reviews to herself.
What is wrong with the commentator?? I see no mistake, it was perfect to my eyes. I'd have thought the judges are better at spotting these things than the commentator. What's wrong with the Chinese nearly sweeping all the diving medals???
i don't know if she's racist but she has the benefit of slow motion. i would like her to try and be a judge and see if she can pick up those minute errors. she probably is just bitter the Chinese are so dominant. i agree with hipster, she's not biased. she is across the board too damn picky.
thou shall not be commenting, that i totally agree with,
she was fantastic and you can't see it through your biased and racist eyes...
c'mon chen ruo lin.. girl you make all the chinese pride of their women diving.. don't worry about this old bat commenting how you shouldn't get 10s... and don't starve urself chen ruo lin.. it is ok to eat =) and i am glad that you are now ^^
gd luck chen ruo lin... make this commenter spew blood when you get the perfect scores later on ^^
this commentator is clearly anti-chinese. i've heard all her commentaries during the diving events and she nit picks at the chinese, but for the americans even if there's a fucking NUCLEAR BOMB SPLASH and they get like 4s she says "no that's too low." fucking noob biased commentator.
this is why she is a commentator and not a judge. NOT ONLY THAT but for the last chinese men's diver she was so fucking happy he screwed up and the aussie won.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Usually those who are the quickest to call racist, are the racists. I listened to this same woman commentate for all the Olympic diving events, and she exhibited no bias. Does anyone here know anything about diving????? How can you say with certainty that what she's saying is incorrect? On a side note...a brilliant dive, but cut the commentator some slack, sheesh!
The commentator sounds so offended with the scores! so ridiculous.. bet she needed to say something after saying it was aaaalmost perfect.. n then judges thinking otherwise.. well done chen!!
i bet you the commentator wouldn't be pissed with those scores if the person diving wasn't chinese. Chen Ruolin got tens from FOUR of the SEVEN judges... so either more than half of them can't judge dives, or she's on crack.
This commentator is embarrassing herself. If you! (commentator!) think you disagree with all the judges. Use your brain! Either there is major problem in your eye or your brain is mass up! If not, is simply speaking without your true heart! Is a amazing dive. If you don't agree no problem but can't stand you showing no respect.
Cynthia Potter has always had harsh comments against Chinese divers. She's completely biased against them. What a nasty, fastidious, AND Jealous woman, who's trying to find as many faults as she can...
"she's not biased. she is across the board too damn picky."
Not true. She IS very biased towards Chinese, and she IS NOT too damn picky on American divers! She and some poeple in u.s. media do not have any cradibility to lecture morality or fairness to others, but they surely can show pelple what double standards, deep-down racism and bad sportsmanship are.
