First time since Barcelona the diving venue is outdoors. I wonder how much of a factor it plays.

I think the Chinese divers should be tested for being robots.

The commentator is driving me nuts with every fdve being great or a great recovery. That GBR dive was a clear miss.

Divers still in 3rd but likely need to crush their next dive.

That delay probably didn't help them.
