I had a friend who had this crocodile tears syndrome. It is a miserable condition to have. Many people mocked him and “made fun” of it.He finally got to where he would only eat with family and friends. He would not go into a restaurant to eat.

Synchronized swimming, which was originally known as water ballet, is also one of the only two Olympic sports that are only competed in by women. The other is rhythmic gymnastics.There are no Olympic sports that are competed in only by men. There is one Summer Olympic sport, equestrian, in which men and women compete directly against each other. This is also the only Olympic sport to feature non human competitors, namely horses. There are 3 Summer Olympic sports in which men and women compete against each other in teams: tennis, badminton and sailing. There are 2 Winter Olympic sports in which men and women compete against each other in teams: ice dancing and pairs figure skating.
