In those tents they had set up on the pool deck, there was an anti-diver for each diver in the competition. Now, suppose Greg Luganis does a reverse somersault with one and a half twists. Precisely at the time he is supposed to twist, the anti-Greg Luganis in the tent below twists in the opposite direction, thereby instantaneously causing Greg Luganis to twist correctly. This follows directly from the law of Consevation of Spin. martin smith, INTERACTIVE, Systems
