Watson's coach, John Walker, said the competition was "fabulous--he had to hit everything." Walker raved about Watson's best dive, a back one-and-a-half somersault with a two-and-one-half twist, calling it a "typical Dan Watson back twister--it was excellent...

Robin Williams can only cock his wrist a couple of times for the famous twister punch. As a result, the slapstick gains in immediacy but loses the necessary hyperbole...
