Wouldn't fancy losing my sight at that height :eek:

Edit: Didn't know that was a rule but it's a damn good one tbh.

Wow, tom Daley requested and is getting a re-dive cos of flash photography.

Pigeon_Killer · 11 Aug 2012 at 20:44

That's more like it

Fair enough I say. They should be sending officials out to seize peoples cameras off them for doing that.

Robbo · 11 Aug 2012 at 20:45

Bottled it, luckily he was allowed a re-dive.

Re-dive was good.

Much better

If it's a rule then he wasn't lucky at all.

Excellent re-dive. But the Chinese and the American divers are ahead.

edit: ah, Chinese actually behind daley. German and American ahead.

Indeed but it's still a decision the referee has to make, it may have gone against him.

Second dive was good too.

They need to be. Imagine not entering the water in a straight line from that height and at that speed, must hurt!

Good yes but it was like 86? Chinese went and got I think it was 94 =/

Daley just did an amazing dive, 92 points, put him in 1st place but then the american did better and daley is in 2nd place after 3 rounds.

Dammit, he's in 4th place.

Its annoying these idiots in just about every game so far there are flash's. They shouldnt be allowed to use a camera because they dont understand it. Do they think its going to illuminate the event or are they taking a picture of the back of persons head in front of them?

Totally agree, they're really dumb these people. They don't need to use a flash at all. There must be tons of light already in the aquatic centre for a decent picture.

Pigeon_Killer · 11 Aug 2012 at 21:25

He's diving as well as he can but the Chinese divers and Boudia can still beat him. Needs a rival to make a mistake to medal imo.

Edit: And just as I type that :cool:

"every time David Boudia has thrown down the gauntlet, Tom Daley has picked it up and run with it"

Gold medal in mixed metaphors for that commentator.

Viper² · 11 Aug 2012 at 21:28

Daley on course for a medal, probably bronze though.

Merlin5 · 11 Aug 2012 at 21:28

Daley in bronze with 2 rounds to go. COME ON TOM!

Vonhelmet · 11 Aug 2012 at 21:29

No homo, but Tom Daley's a bit good looking, eh?
