Rio Olympics: NBC Makes Divers Look Naked, Internet Doesn"t Complain


On August 9th, the Men"s Diving Synchronised 3m Springboard Final took place, and Great Britain won gold.


Also, a strategically placed score bar made the competitors look naked.  And since they wore nothing more than a standard Speedo, it turned out to be quite the evening for viewers at home.


Naturally, the internet found the whole thing funny, and Twitter was chock full of with Naked Swimming comments.
