    I know, but Tom's story is amazing and emotional.

    Really enjoyed Leon Taylor's expert assessments in the diving - he was spot on.

    I think Leon smith who does the commentary on the diving is superb. Knows the sport inside out. Very enthusiastic and speaks in layman terms

    But also makes it accessible for all of us watching to follow exactly what's going on.

    Excellent work

    He does always go a good measure of enthusiastic, informative and entertaining commentary. Still remember his commentary from London 2012's diving events - "Get your surfboards out!" Wonder if we'll hear that one this year! (More likely to be in preliminary commentary than the finals!)

    What a shame Louis Smith came off the pommel. I was worried about having someone (even as good as him) competing in just one event....lots of pressure. :(
