Olympic Diving

I don't know why they bother with the judges, this commentator is predicting the scores to within a couple of points every time!

Lol Pete. At least he's only screwing his own chances this time, although Tom is trying too.

Another shocking round from the Brits. Waterfield looks dead and buried but Daley's still got a good chance.

Pigeon_Killer · 10 Aug 2012 at 22:12

Daley's through, despite three awful dives, but Waterfield's out

Daley's up again in the Semi Final. 12 go though, and things going well so far

Pigeon_Killer · 11 Aug 2012 at 11:04

Diving much better this morning but his 5th dive went horribly wrong last night and that's up next. Can't afford one slip up.

Cosimo · 11 Aug 2012 at 11:04

Daley into second place with that one.

Craig1981 · 11 Aug 2012 at 11:13

That guy who just went. Is it me or were his fingers all bruised?

Pigeon_Killer · 11 Aug 2012 at 11:19

The Chinese are on another planet. Daley's called Bo unbeatable but the way Yue's diving the rest could all be fighting for Bronze before they even get to the final

Cosimo · 11 Aug 2012 at 11:19

These Chinese guys are going to be hard to beat. Daley will be lucky to get bronze.

Skeeter · 11 Aug 2012 at 11:20

Can the people sitting up the top see the diving board? It looks close to be able to even see the pool with how low the roof drops in the middle.

Pigeon_Killer · 11 Aug 2012 at 11:22

Much better :cool:

oli356 · 11 Aug 2012 at 11:24

Much better, will get through to the finals at least. Will have to do better though tonight to get a bronze though, those Chinese are just so good.

Pigeon_Killer · 11 Aug 2012 at 11:41

Needs to dive better tonight but he's through.

Roalith · 11 Aug 2012 at 14:43

Stephan ****'s dive the other day was just... ouch.

Yup. Can you imagine if the 100m final clip was uploaded before NBC shows it?!

They are THAT serious, about $$$.

oli356 · 11 Aug 2012 at 16:02

Ridiculous.

Managed to find a low quality clip of it -- oooops!!!

Merlin5 · 11 Aug 2012 at 20:29

Diving starting on bbc hd channel now.

Mat · 11 Aug 2012 at 20:38

Am I the only one who winces when divers rotate inwards, their head just inches from the rock hard platform?!

NZB · 11 Aug 2012 at 20:40

Nah Mat, i cringe every time. I'd be too scared to try it tbh, 20 odd years ago when i had no fear maybe lol.
