The divers have my deepest respect! I have a fear to jump into the water when I climb up to 5 meters. :redface:

Gold for Tom Daley today. That man has had so much in the spotlight, it's great that now he has achieved what he dreamed of.

What an exciting final in the next women's 10m synchro. China were on fire, and took gold. USA's first ever diving medal in silver position and Mexico with the Bronze. It changed so much. Fab to watch.

As I said, I admire these divers. It is fascinating to see them turning in the air and jump into the water in order to splash as less as possible.

China gold, ROC, Mexico and GB are good diving teams too so wouldn't be surprised if they got bronze. USA and Japan good too, USA more likely to take silver in diving. I think synchro is harder in general as there's more that could go wrong/have penalty points. Looking forward to more
