Beautiful moment indeed, amazingly done by Qin Kai  (photos are in the spoiler)

 

And really nice to see Shi and Cagnotto standing there and enjoying the moment

Beautiful moment indeed, one of the best moments of this Games

Finally, mexican divers performing at their level. I hope Rommel has a great day tomorrow (physically and mentally) so he could challenge for the podium... Rodrigo Diego was good for being his first "senior" Olympics, making it into the final will be great for him.

 

By the way, Chao HE (he failed his 2nd and 3rd dives; after that he couldn't return to it top form) is out of contention, so it's practically an open field for the gold/podium.

 

Especial recognition to Yona KNIGHT-WISDOM and Olivier DINGLEY    for advancing to the semis. I hope they surprise again tomorrow in the semifinals (not at the expense of the Mexicans though)

I think that we'll never see again He Chao in a competition

Very poor semifinals. The 12th athlete have 389 points

Just when I thought Mexico had a shot at a medal, Pacheco performs a disastrous first dive. Oh... 

[T&Fwatch 6]

Oh come on, Chinese guy's jump was clearly over and he still gets 8.5... every other one would have had 7.5 as maximum

I'm happy for Hausding, he's a great diver.  So is Laugher (but for some reason I find him arrogant, but I'm happy for him, too).  And the Chinese, again.  Sure.  

 

Great for Gagne to make the final.  He's only 18.  Look out for him in Tokyo!

I was rooting for him, too.  I like the Mexican divers, men and women.  Great talent.
