I believe there are high expectations on Alex Despatie to medal in diving, although it looks like he may have been concussed last week while practicing a dive:

MONTREAL - First he didn't, then he did.
After initial reports Canadian diver Alexander Despatie didn't suffer a concussion in a diving accident last week, the two-time Olympic silver medallist confirmed Tuesday he did have one.
Despatie hit his head on the board last week in Madrid while training for a Grand Prix event
The 27-year-old from Laval, Que., was hospitalized and required surgery to close a 10-centimetre wound near his hairline.
