Really wish the High Dive outdoors, like open water swimming, was in the Games - doesn't seem a wildly expensive venue - a Scaffolding, steps, temporary stand and a reasonably deep temporary pool., yet its a fabulous spectacle, and requires relatively few competitors for a proper competition.

In a sign of how relaxed the GB squad have been about these championships, I understand that Matthew Richards was still in heavy training at altitude two weeks ago. 

 

Whilst it is disappointing that he didn't make the podium, 47.82 is still half a second quicker than he was swimming at the same time last year.
