Olympic Games
Diving
A
combination of skill, courage, athletic training and ability,
diving is almost as exciting for the spectators as it is for the
divers.
There
are a lot of technical aspects to the competition, but suffice
to say that a clean 'rip' - with no splash on entry - is a key
component of a good dive.
In
all, the competition at the Summer Games in Beijing promises particular
drama and excitement as both the USA and China teams traditionally
shine at the diving event.
Especially
watch for David
Boudia and Thomas Finchum to be a strong addition to Team
USA after winning gold in men's synchronized 10-meter diving at
the 2007 Pan Am games in Rio ....
