Diving at the Aquatics FINA World Championships 2019


Recommended Posts

Awesome choke by Laugher! With a good last jump he could've set a new world record and even with an average jump he could've easily won the gold medal. Still i think he shouldn't be completely sad about this competition. Looking at the advantage he had over the chinese guys before the last jump i would say that it will be very hard for the chinese guys to catch up to him until Tokyo.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

Funny thing is that Macau has a diving medal at the Asian Games, so in theory they are not exactly terrible when training divers. But this is... wow. Just wow.

Did China drop out in the mixed 3m springboard?

 

yeah, they did it at the last minute...

and I don't know what, but something must have happened*, because they were supposed to take part also into this competition (with their individual world champions, not with a B-pair)...

*probably a slight injury to one of the two during the warm-up...:mumble:

 

or maybe FINA paid them to leave at least 1 gold medal to the rest of the world...:yikes::rofl::facepalm:

FINA probably did something indeed. It's a very bad image for the sport if someone wins all dozen events.

 

Interestingly, artistic swimming and diving are probably the only Olympic sports with 10+ medal events where a gold medal sweep is possible. Makes you wonder. :p

    • Here, the Masters is on national TV.  Are major golf tourneys in the USA shown in other places?   (I work at a private school that's just about an 80-minute drive from Augusta.  Many of my students are able to go watch the tournament in person.  I've never paid attention to golf until this year...it's a beautiful course!)

    • Orban had one big plus- he built modern football stadiums in Hun and several modern swimming pools in Budapest. Maybe we should hire him as our sports minister and infrastructure
    • Btw. I once read that Denmark has the best democracy in the world - in the sense that it has the most equal system, unlike, for example, North Korea or Eritrea on the other side of the political ocean.
    • This is Tisza's only chance, because without a constitutional majority, Orbán would return for several years. Hopefully, Tisza wins that majority.
    • Seems like a supermajority for Magyar
    • so, one of the most boring world cup stages ever has ended    if it wasn't for  and , winning 1 gold medal each, a  sweep would have come true, as they won all the remaining 8 gold medals (and a bunch of silver and bronze, too)    while some sports are brcoming more and more global, it looks that (rifle and pistol) shooting is going the other way round, it's becoming less and less global, with just 1 or 2 dominating Countries and a few others filling the (minor) gaps here and there, with always less Nations capable to win medals (only 12, out of 10 competitions) and even make the final    now the Rifle and Pistol world cup takes a break to allow most Continental championships to take place between the end of April and May.   It will be back in  Munich in the last week of May.   In the meantime, the Shotgun specialists will be on stage from May 2nd through May, 11th in  Almaty.
    • Orban is finished. I hope Meloni doesn't do him asylum in Italy
