wait till you try it yourself! after 2 years of diving for my school, i'm used to it (off the springboards, at least) but it still does get scary. especially inwards... eesh
i have belly flopped off a 5 meter board and it bloody hurt, now dont give me comments calling me an idiot, i didnt do it on purpose, what do think i am stupid i didnt complete my flip lol
yeah, the dudes at 2:41 where even better though! Although they only did one flip, their hand movements were exactly together, the opening, tuck, and not to mention the collision with the water! it made no splash WHAT SO EVER, on the contrary, the water was sucked in!
I wish I was Olympic material after only a year doing a sport. But I do think he started earlier, just from guessing, I never looked it up so idk maybe. But I was more referencing to the age limits to compete in the Olympics.
Woo Alexandre Despatie! What a diver.. he won gold on 10m platform at the 1998 commonwealth games and his was only 13! And his scores were all perfect 10's!
I want to know if anyone else is bummed that they got rid of vols in ths year's olympics. Now we can't see Dmitry Sautin's sick gainer dives like at 1:10. The dude's a dinosaur, but what a bad A.
don't get me wrong, i adore matt mitcham and i think he completely deserves his gold medal, but i'm going to have to say that china still dominates the diving events.
Omg. Ive been doing diving since I was 5 years old. And I HATE it when ppl say "Wow thats so cool how the start off their dive in a handstand!" Its called an armstand! Srry sparklywindsield88 I hav a bad habit of correcting ppl...
WOW!!!!im on the diving team and i can some of those but not that good!!!!they r really good!!!!when i do a 2in a half frount flip im perfect my coach says im not 10feet or 3inches im like a foot or a foot in a half she says is perfect!!!if i rated this movie it would be a 1000000000!!!i <3 DIVING!!!!
no wonder i can never complete my rotations...i go out like 10 feet from the board; they're practically kissing it when they go past...that's intense.
i know leon taylor he used to dive at my local pool in cheltenham
and i agree with the forum troll guy actually - i saw a china dive where by they were not in synchro - and they made big splashes - yet got (at the lowest) 8.5 from each judge when it was definaltely not that good
The water must be 5 m deep if there's platform in the facility, otherwise 4 m is enough, for more information have a look at the Fina website:)
Excellent video, I whatch it every day before or after diving, it inspires me, I wish i had the full resolution video to learn something new...thanks anyway
diving is so much fun sometimes its scary but after a year or 2 you get over it and you can just do stuff easy i just got 2 new scary dives but i just got on the board and did it it was kinda scary but i just told my self just do it don't thing about the what ifs and just do it
Hi divinggal24 - Your coach should not have you do arm circles or "TYO" on the platform. The reason you do this on the springboard is because doing a proper arm circle loads the springboard with energy which in turn springs you way up in the air. Obviously you cannot load the platform in the same way.
(cont.) By starting inwards with your arms over your head you are ready to simply throw somersault and get lots of rotation. The spring you get will only come from your legs and toe push. There for doing an arm circle is not necessary at all. In fact it could make it more difficult to keep good balance.(hope this helps)
I think high diving is the best olympic sport. It's amazing how they do they those awesome flips and land perfectly in the water. It's a beautiful underrated sport.
is there a 4.0 dive??
