Diving - Women's Synchronized 10m Platform | London 2012 Olympic Games

[@wentaofeng5548]

Actually quite good commentary. One guy is more enthusiastic and the other calm and analytical

[@ameliadowling4337]

The calm one is the general commentator/ analyst. He is the one who knows all the rules and technicalities and has the job of explaining it all. The enthusiastic guy is the "color commentator". His job is to vary up the conversation and add some color to all the rules. This is how commentary is done on pretty much every other sport outside of the olympics. Wish there was more of this in olympic commentators

[@evab.6240]

Amelia Dowling oh wow, that's awesome ;D

[@lauraabigail123]

except for the fact that they are biased towards the British team

[@judyanddy]

Laura Toro Well... they aren’t judging and giving marks to the divers so... Also they are probably from Great Britain so ya, it’s their home country so they might have a little biased OPINIONS

[@daniellemally625]

Amelia Dowling o OK kok

[@Axiom_1983]

Chen Ruolin was just amazing. I saw her singles 10m diving & it was like she was the only one in the competition with no match!!!

[@smittysmeee]

I'm watching this with my 6 year old, and she's convinced every one of these women is as scared of heights as she is and that they're all facing their fears. She's never been more impressed.

[@chooseyourpoison5105]

I think this is the loveliest thing I've read on KZbin all month. Your daughter is partly right - a lot of divers do get scared of heights when they first learn, and years later they have overcome it to the point of becoming champions!

[@WeAreComingHome]

Oh. My. Goodness. That is adorable

[@コンコンりえ]

Megan Smith omg we like have the same life, I watched this with my 7 year old and he loved it and wanted to try swimming and diving right away :)

[@Lotsothestrawberrybear]

Haha 😂. Haven’t you explained to her that they’ve trained literally all their lives, and that they’ve dived off of the 10 m platform for probably thousands of times?

[@julekakillashandra589]

Your daughter is very adorable. Give her a hug for me!

[@Whoevenaskedyou]

Love how the commentators explain a little about the scoring And how nice they are and complementing the other teams besides Britain

I just finished watching the women’s 10m dive, so I remember like all of these people, which is strange since I haven’t really watched the olympics ever. Just started a few days ago with the diving, figure skating, and gymnastics.

[@iamkitty1192]

i never really watch olympics but i always watch the diving and gymnastics, i recently watched the figure skating to and it was mesmerising

[@ladycatsbecky]

I’m always afraid they are gonna hit their head on the platform

[@raineystewart6847]

Rebecca Lee yea because someone did that before

[@user-fx8mz6qg6j]

same

[@marypatton1122]

People do that frequently. Diving can be pretty dangerous but I don't think it is as dangerous and life altering as gymnastics. Gymnastics makes lots of quads.

[@alinzum5955]

[@marshajulessa2995]

Yes a guy a long time ago never heard of a girl hitting her head?

[@lunabelletheinsane]

I love how unbiased these commenters are - alot of commenters are, but these two are pulling for every team, you could barely tell they were rooting for GB the whole time.

[@asliyase]

[@jasminejohnston6393]

Love the divers’ swimsuits. They look like synchronized swimmers, especially the suits the Chinese divers wore with the swirly patterns on them

[@grassyya]

My parents are Chinese and I am Canadian! GO !

[@thomasm7108]

To put it into context, the final total score for the Chinese pair would've got them a silver medal in the Women's 10m individual event even though they had the restricted difficulty dives at the start. That proves how amazing the Chinese divers are.

[@jesslyn8917]

i don’t get it 44:40 was AMAZING. as far as synchro literally an 11/10. wow.

[@hydroelectriclyre2775]

@19:00, "We're British, we don't smile." I like the commentary.

[@jessicad5303]

ive been watching many olympic diving videos and i cant figure out how the scoring works?

[@MysticSaphira]

jessica d Don‘t know if you‘re still looking for the answer, but I‘m going to explain it anyway. As this is a synchro event, the scoring is slightly different than for the other diving events. The two highest and the two lowest execution scores are crossed out, as are the highest and the lowest for synchronization. The five remaining scores (2x execution, 3x synchro) are each multiplied by the difficulty score for the dive. This score is then multiplied by 0.6 which gives the final score for the dive.

[@gracewang413]

@@MysticSaphira Thank you! This was really helpful

[@willengel2458]

@@MysticSaphira you forgot to mention how the judges score each dive. the easiest is he/she starts from 10 or 9.5 and deducts .5 for the flaw they saw and came up with the total.

[@DerekAllanOfficial]

Mexico and China !!!

[@สงค์มหาปุริมกุล-ฟ4ห]

I'm love China 😊

"emptying the pool effort" OMG the commentators are ruthless 💀💀

[@Spikeangelsolidsnake]

[@muhammadkhalil9322]

Pandelela and mun yee👇

[@AF-qn9hc]

There are actually lots of discrepancies and bias in the judges when scoring for synchronization. The fourth dive of synchros from the Chinese and the third dive from the Mexicans where slightly off and they were scored a 9.5. The scoring system needs consistency.

[@georgehav650]

Judges can't see replays from all angles as we do Keep that in mind I think the final ranking was fare

[@eduardof5980]

when their favored team/s are behind ( as they don't expect coz they judged / scored also) animals feel bitterness also? just asking

[@jasminejohnston6393]

How do the divers not hit their heads on the platform when doing reverse or inward dives?

[@chooseyourpoison5105]

With a lot of practice. Having said that, sometimes they do hit their heads - the lifesavers at the side of the pool are there for good reason. USA diver Greg Louganis famously hit his head at the 1988 Olympics, and British diver Monique Gladding also hit her head at the World Cup, knocking her unconscious. There are videos of both incidents here on KZbin, if you type their names into the search box.

[@rusnevaliukaite3753]

Now that's a one good commentator

[@mengzhang435]

I have been watching 2016 London Olympic diving competitions and really like these two commentators. Can someone tell me who are those two gentlemen?

[@smillalalala3670]

this was actually satisfying

[@MissCathy97]

México♥️🇲🇽

[@kimannraymond9558]

this is a dumb question but...why do they have those little towels? and why that little pool?

[@Whoevenaskedyou]

Kim'Ann Raymond the little towel is dry them self off so don't slip before the dive and pool mainly to release the muscle strain after each round

[@ivy6980]

I can’t be the only one bothered by the commentators constantly calling them “girls” instead of women.

[@BlueAxeRacer]

Well they're not exactly well endowed are they?

[@Sakisasvictorianmask]

Not really (being a women myself), especially considering how incredibly young most of them are.

[@miriam8376]

Yeah it drove me nuts. Can’t imagine commentators referring to male athletes as boys the whole time instead of men.

[@Sakisasvictorianmask]

@@Hatohime Yeah, I would, and many others too. If a male soccer team plays commentators would also call them boys, it's not ulikely. I prefer to focus on actual sexist problems, like women being denied human rights in certain countries or being expected to become a housewife - you don't need to tell me what to get offended over.

IT'S KIND of unfair body shape dictates your splash to a degree

[@evab.6240]

dogiit1 Well, yes. But they are all pretty lean anyways.

[@theplanetmercury7487]

Well yes. All sports are biased towards body types. That's how it works.

[@tanishaparamba5806]

Body shape will always dictate sports. If you look at shot putters, or other throwing events it always favors the bigger athletes. That being said greater height usually benefits the high jumpers. Marathon runners are usually incredibly thin and gymnasts are often pretty small. The thing is most sports require certain muscles to be developed and certain strengths for the various actions that need to be performed. It's more like a certain amount of natural talent is needed in addition to the incredible amount of hard work they need.

*obviously spinning out of synchro* “They’re in perfect synchronization!” Just proof that the commentators are SO BIASED towards the British team

[@tai7874]

thank you for saying this! i've noticed it in men's synchro diving too

[@clrtomsett123456]

well yes, shockingly british commentators, commentating on british athletes, for a british television company are supporting the brits. The commentators being biased doesn't matter in the slightest, the athletes can't hear it.

[@ep3865]

Yes I saw that too 😒

[@isaacbroadhurst2955]

Go and watch your countries commentary on it then if you’re going to moan😂 what do you want the commentators to say to a BRITISH audience, “oh that was rubbish they’ve lost their medal” and just make people turn the tv over and watch something else. The only reason you lot are watching this is because there’s no commentary on it from your country so stop moaning jheez

[@aliosmanyasin5950]

Canada is good 👍

[@adrianifteni5741]

[@reptongeek]

How come there isn't any Prelims or Semis for the Synchronized events

[@LoveLaw]

So question - how do people get into diving? Is it like gymnastics where you start as a toddler? I've never met a person who does this as a sport so I'm just curious.

[@lozabasically6610]

it’s been a while since you commented, but i started diving at 13 after seeing the olympics and thinking it was cool, and many people in my club started young (elementary school) or they were gymnasts who decided to join their diving team in high school

[@bigbirdbirdbird]

he keeps saying that the scores with lines through them dont count as the final score, but why are they there in the first place? and why do they put the line through them ?

[@annaliang2641]

It's because the audience can see their highest and lowest scores. As you can see, their highest and lowest scores are not counted, so it allows the competition to be fair. The line through the number just means that score is not counted, to answer your question. :) Hope this helped!
