He medaled!! :biggrin:

The Chinese guy's face though. Only in China can you be dissapointed with silver. Though I suppose China has always dominated diving so it's understandable.

china and the u.s finishing above us again, this is too much for me

Why? Both countries invest massively in sport and China has 20x our population (more if we are talking about olympic age poeple) and the US has 5x our population.

Sorry, I'm proud that Daley got another medal for GB. But what irritates me is that he gets more attention than our legends like Sir Ben Ainslie and Chris Hoy

Can anyone explain how Daley did the Olympics when he was 14? Thought you had to be 16 in the year, but I don't know much :holmes:

No way. I would be very sad about getting silver IF I was favourite and expected myself to get gold. Two of our rowers were devastated with silver. It's probably a bit worse if you're Chinese though as you might disappear and you family might lose jobs (joke).
