Diving at the Summer Olympic Games 2020

Yahel failing even the lowest dives 

 

Another medal for the Americans, with the Germans probably joining them in the podium.

 

Btw, Russians deserved 5’s for their last dives

China got both 6.5 and 8.5 for synchronization now...

 

What a robbery.

[mrv86 3,151]

Terrible round, even China failing (but getting undeserved 8’s in execution and synchro)

[mrv86 3,151]

Podium for the US divers 

 

Probably the only ones that deliver a consistent performance all around, with a great final execution

And an undeserved bronze for Castillo/Celaya , courtesy of Ruediger and the Russians last fails.

 

Too bad Mears/Goodfellow couldn’t deliver until the last dive

 

Edit: Judges saved the ass of the Germans. Well, they deserved the podium more

Can’t believe the Germans won bronze, they had a bad series of dives but overall it was a low standard so they somehow managed to sneak onto the podium. 
 

Russia getting the first foul dive in this event since Athens 2004 says it all.

 

The Americans were fantastic though, thoroughly deserve that silver.

Yes, Germans were among the “least worst”, no terrible mistake and a decent difficulty degree, so that was their reward. Japanese were quite decent, but still need to polish their entries and lack a great value dive

 

All around the overall level has been dismal, but given most of the divers have not competed regularly, what one could expect. Only Daley (who mostly carried Lee to that Gold) and both US medalist teams showed something decent.

Wow, and the streak of bad results for Mexico today continue… Arantxa Chavez with a no dive so that’s all for her 

[mrv86 3,151]

Second round of women’s 3m semifinal… good start by  Vazquez, but her dive was a 6.0-6.5 because the sloppy entry
