I saw a big hug between Boudia and one of the Chinese divers.

It was. All three medallists dived really well, I thought (from my position of knowing nothing about it). Last two nailed their hard final dives, so fair play to them.

The standard was incredibly high. I thought he did brilliantly in the circumstance. Felt a bit teary when he talked about his Dad tbh.
He scored an average of 92.17 per dive. To put that into context -- if all dives had a difficulty level of 3.3, it would have been equivalent to scoring 9.3 per judge per dive.
In no way could it be said that he fucked it up. It's an astonishing score. The fact that there were a few others on the day that did the equivalent of scoring 9.5 per judge per 3.3-difficulty dive doesn't detract from just how well he did.

Does anyone have an explanation yet as to why Tom Daley doesn't get in the little pool after his dive? Is he being paid by newspapers to stand against that wall posing for teenage girls?
Or dirty older women lusting after him since Beijing when he was just 14!

I don't think Daley was ever a serious medal contender. All the media hype has convinced people otherwise.
Still, he almost lost his trunks, which was nice
Why wasn't he a medal contender? He won the World Championship gold a couple of months ago didn't he? Or is that nothing like the same? (I know fuck all about diving)
