Remember the "referee" rumbling onto the field at the Super Bowl in Houston this past season? Palace Station strikes again in Greece!
| Quote: | CBC SPORTS ONLINE - Olympics organizers have increased security at all sports venues after an unidentified Canadian spectator plunged into a swimming pool during a diving competition.
The man, bare-chested and sporting a blue tutu, scampered onto the pool deck and climbed to an adjoining diving board during the men's synchronized three-metre springboard event on Monday.
He jumped into the pool after about a minute atop his perch and was immediately apprehended by security officials at the Olympic Aquatic Centre.
The man, who was not identified by police, was arrested and booked on a charge on "interrupting the Games," according to a Ministry of Public Order spokesperson.
It was not yet known what penalties or fines the Canadian might face. |

Funny thing was, every team got flustered by it - except the Grecians, who pulled off the mild upset.

I think the bigger crime here is that there's a men's synchronized three-metre springboard event.

This kid is a ground breaker. Look for costumes to be added to the synchronized diving events within the next 4 years.
