Glad you guys don't remember the 1983 America's cup when a Canadian diver (who may or may not have been from HMCS DONNACONA, Wink! Wink!) tried to spy on Australia's new keel design (it had side wings).

The real question is: does anyone actually care about soccer at the Olympics? Just looking at the teams who qualified, it is pretty apparent that a lot of the more successful nations are not present.

There are many people (myself included) who probably would have never realized that the Canadian women's team had qualified had it not been for this incident.
