Brilliant. You beauty. Silver

 

[rocker_oz33]

Sliver ....great work.

 

[por_please_ya]

Had tears in my eyes!!

I also loved what they said in the beginning, that Maddy's idol is Chen and showed up wearing a t-shirt with her picture on it LOL!

 

[Plugger35]

Chen nailed it to get the gold.

 

[AdelaideGT]

I think I'm going pretty well with my 'last medal predictions' from up-thread lol

 

[danielnajdek]

She scored higher then the Chinese swimmer on her last dive. Should get the gold just for that.

 

[Doggy]

1 poor dive but 4 fantastic ones by Madison, but the Chinese Chen was just fabulous all night

The Chinese don't lose diving. It's extremely rare

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

Well at least we got a medal in the diving. I wasn’t expecting us to get a medal in this event. So good on ya Maddy for getting Silver

 

[Jeremias]

OK, over to the breaking.

There's an Aussie coming up I think.

Only as good as your last dive huh

OK OK WHAT THE **** IS THIS?

Gold medal to tubs for building his Diving commentary as the Olympics progressed. Started off slashing at a few wide outside off and got dropped early in the innings. But fought on bravely and tonned up just before stumps.

Break dancing isn't it? Lol

What an all-time great performance Maddie

Not for getting Silver, but for finishing ahead of a Chinese athlete in a diving competition

Yeah you need something freaky like that Mitchem dive.

 

[Jeremias]

Break dancing isn't it? Lol

I think so. I'm waiting for them to get out of their warm up tracksuits.

 

[giggler99]

Bloody hell why are the Chinese so good at diving?

 

[rocker_oz33]

Break dancing to a vanilla ice take off ....lol..

 

[por_please_ya]

Aww Chiara, she dived really well.

 

[AdelaideGT]

Lovely sportsmanship by Mad cheering as the Chinese gun beat her. And then all the friendly hugs.

If only divers were in charge of the Chinese & Australian governments..

Just wait till tomorrow if Rousseau gets a medal in the men's platform. His finest hour since his 334*

Almost as good as Mark Waugh in the slips

Matthew Mitcham says hello. But you are right.

Post Greg Louganis, its only been Matthew and a Russian called Dimitri, surname escapes me, have stopped the Chinese men in the individual events. Can't remember anyone stopping the Chinese women in individual events.

Tom Daley and his diving partner stopped the men in the 10m platform syncro in Tokyo. They are the only 3 ones I can recall.

 

[Plugger35]

First springboard medal in 104 years, long time between drinks, no Aussie springboard diver has nailed it that well since Antwerp.

I wonder if Warwick Armstrong aka The Big Ship was commentating the diving back then.
