Edit: Damn it. Poor third dive.

Good dive from GB there, bit of a mis time there.

Wow what a dive from Mexico :eek:

explicit4u · 31 Jul 2012 at 15:25

A bit average for that jump.

The Chinese are stupidly good. Mexico

NZB · 31 Jul 2012 at 15:25

Mexicans were far better with the same dive

Yas786 · 31 Jul 2012 at 15:27

Canadians look good as well

GB in 6th now and Canada 3rd after round 3.

As usual the Chinese are top.

Pigeon_Killer · 31 Jul 2012 at 15:27

We're in the realms of needing the other teams to make a mistake again

explicit4u · 31 Jul 2012 at 15:28

GB down to 6th, only 11 points from 2nd.

China pretty much have gold in the bag

Yas786 · 31 Jul 2012 at 15:30

Still GB can do it, they just need a good solid dive but with the Mexicans and Canadians also diving well, it may be a tall order.

Yas786 · 31 Jul 2012 at 15:33

Some of these camera angles are amazing :eek:

Yas786 · 31 Jul 2012 at 15:34

GB up to 4th now with that dive.

NZB · 31 Jul 2012 at 15:34

Some of the judges scored that really low

Probably because when they entered the water, they werent exactly vertical...there was a slight bend of the body as they entered the water. I think thats why they got the low score.

Yas786 · 31 Jul 2012 at 15:37

GB still in 6th after round 4, Canadians in 3rd place.

Final round now.

That should be gold for China, just too damn good

explicit4u · 31 Jul 2012 at 15:38

Still in 6th with a bigger gap forming

That's gold for China, miles ahead of everyone.

EDIT: Temporarily 3rd, probably not enough to stay there though.

No medal but I'd let Couch dive on me all day

explicit4u · 31 Jul 2012 at 15:46

Mexico into 2nd place, no medal for us again

The_One · 31 Jul 2012 at 15:47

Just like the men the syncros were spot on always, its the poor entries costing us!

Pigeon_Killer · 31 Jul 2012 at 15:49

Anyone know why they enter the water with palms out? Surely that would create more of a splash than if they had their palms together in an arrow shape?

Yas786 · 31 Jul 2012 at 15:50

Woohoo nice one Canada, bagged 3rd with that dive.

China with gold as expected, Mexico gets silver and Canada gets bronze...amazing dive from the Canadians.

Unfortunately GB didnt get on the podium, they end up 5th which isnt too bad really.

Bit surprised that the Americans didnt enter a team in the diving comp.
