Diving

[Jimena]

So how did that play out? Did his coach complain, or did Daley? I wasn't watching.

I wasn't either. :shuffle: I read it here.

Is this a normal occurance in diving?

To my knowledge, it's never happened before. Divers have to deal with this kind of thing all the time - Daley should never have protested and he should never have been given this kind of unfair advantage. I hope protests are lodged by multiple countries if he ends up winning. He would have been out of contention had his very first dive counted.

Daley got out of the water indicating something was wrong. His coach apparently knew right off the bat and went to the official, followed by Daley. They had a chat, the audience got rightfully smacked down about flash photography, and Daley dove again.

Aw, my Canadian husband went big on his final dive, good for him. :)

:cheer2: I feel bad that he pushed out Mitcham, but I agree that McCormick is :swoon: and I'm glad he made the most out of getting to the finals.

Ohh the men are BRINGING IT in this competition!!!

:cheer2: for Mitcham in the stands.

Minibaev has gorgeous twisting form. Send him over to the gymnastics center :shuffle:

[allezfred]

Daley solid last dive, but is it difficult enough to win?

[Fergus]

Poor German puppy! :( Shoulder looks dislocated.

[Cyn]

Wolfram's shoulder looks dislocated or broken after that last dive :yikes: :scream:

[Tesla]

Come on Dave.

[Hanna]

That was pretty from Daley. :swoon:

What is Becks' connection to diving? :shuffle:

[allezfred]

Think Boudia has gone ahead.

[vesperholly]

Think Boudia has gone ahead.

Yep! :cheer2: (london2012.com is ahead of the video)
