These dives look spectacular to me but then the commentators immediately start shitting on them. I have no idea what is going on.
It's called having more money than everyone else and a strong desire to out perform them. The Chinese sure love to impress the world.

BBC sport has got it on the olympic 12 channel if that helps. if your from the USA tho got no links for streams or anything
Isn't it more likely a MASSIVE population to draw talent from combined with unparalleled investment is sports? much like how the US dominated for so long.

Spinning forward, towards the diving board, is like the worst idea ever :/

I was talking about the resolution your computer is set in. Mine struggles at 1920*1080 in full screen ( like hardware struggling, not bandwith struggling ), but when I change it to 720p all goes well.
it's pretty early days yet...

Do you remember the 2010 Winter Games?
Yeah. Can't help thinking we'll do much worse than Beijing. There we had no pressure because everyone was still looking towards London, and we got a fantastic result. The home fans want Britain to do well, but there is a ton of pressure. We just need someone to get one so everyone can relax a bit

Population has nothing to do with it, they are just strict with their training day in day out, like most of the chinese

Mmm well, they are all very good but some are much better than others. Whether they make a big splash, are straight when they enter the water, are completely synced, entered the water at the same time and what sort of difficulty of the dive.

*Athletes fuck up* British news reporter to athlete: "I'm sure that wasn't the performance you wanted but Britain is still proud of you!"
No we're not. You're a professional athlete and you're not doing a good enough job. You get paid to do this stuff and you keep on fucking up, get it sorted or have your funding pulled.

The track cycling and rowing is where we will get most of our medals and both are yet to start.
You have to wonder how much the media circuit before the Olympics messed with the athletes routine. There seemed to be half a dozen docs profiling each person in Team GB.
It's not everything, but population has a lot to do with it. It's crazy to think otherwise.

I'm aware of that but I'm just starting to think the pressure is too much across the board and a lot of them will choke.
GT430, 2GB Ram, and Dual Core too.
It handles 3D Blu-Ray ISO Streaming, so I'm a bit surprised.
Guess that's shitty Flash for me ?
While competing in your home country gives you the support of all the public, at the same time you have so much pressure on your shoulder. I remember during Beijing 2008 lots of Chinese athletes were extremely tense, especially during the Diving, one of the girl who won at the end started crying.

The pressure they must feel before jumping off the board! Don't know how they keep themselves so focused.

Try with an other browser maybe.
The cyclists were under pressure in Beijing and still delivered and have competed in Britain before at the World Championships in Manchester. I think they will do fine.
