Going to be tough to beat the Chinese in Diving, but definitely look like they should be in serious competition for a medal.

I want the job of reading diving scores in a monotone voice.

4th dive killed Canada. Final dive killed Japan and Mexico sneaks in for a medal. It's hard to belive that Japan has never won a diving medal. That was their chance.

I believe that makes it at least 4 medals that have barely slipped through Canada's hands (Skylar Park in Taekwondo, Summer McIntosh in the 400m Freestyle, Men's 4x100 Relay, now Meaghan Benfeito & Caeli McKay in 10m Platform Synchro).

They must all be devastated.

Still proud of all!
