10m Men’s Diving

I watched one of my favorite events, the 10m men’s diving, on TV (not live, unfortunately!). Thomas Daley from Great Britain was really good, but he looked like he’s 12. Damn I love diving. So much fun to watch such grace. David Boudia from the U.S. also did amazing. He picked the most difficult style. Apparently I’m not a good judge though. Every person I think is decent gets a bad score and the ones I think are rather unimpressive get like 90+. I’m a bit surprised that the style which starts with the diver standing upsides down on their hands are rather low on difficulty. It sure looks like the hardest thing to do to me, having to not only keep your weights entirely on your hands, but also pushing yourself off the platform.
