The Olympic diving 08:47 - Aug 7 with 949 viewsChrisd

Tom Daley with a bronze and in my novice opinion dived brilliantly, however I’m just amazed how good the Chinese divers are in all the different events, when they need to deliver a top dive they just do it. When the pressure is on they deliver, what do they do to make them so mentally tough?

They seem to be almost perfect in every dive. Did you see the 14 year old in the women's event?

Yes, incredible. It doesn’t seem to matter whomever is representing them - man or woman/ young or old, they deliver. Anyone else I find I’m hoping they do it, even with Tom Daley. The Chinese you just know they aren’t going to fail, it’s mightily impressive.

I remember when Daley won a bronze medal in 2012 he was jumping into the pool in celebration with his coaching staff yet the Chinese diver who won the silver medal was absolutely distraught he hadn't won.

It’s boring. Jumping off a platform and taking up a squat position with knees apart. It looks like they’re spinning whilst taking a dump. 😂

The price of failure is probably sufficient motivation! However they’re motivated, they certainly are mightily impressive to a man and woman.

They are nothing compared to Immobile’s attempt a few weeks back….,

They’ve won all but one gold haven’t they in the diving?

I had one bet on the diving this year. Guess which one? Yep.. the Chinese lads who got beat by Daley and the other lad.

But yes.. I agree. They’re excellent. The calmness when they need a big dive is so impressive.

In the synchro they made one small error on one dive and that enabled us to win the gold, we were more or less flawless. That aside the Chinese divers have been ridiculous.
