Ours did 1.98m in the heptathlon so she'd have beat her like you say. Silly to think people they apparently specialise in the high jump haven't managed to jump higher. What have they been doing for the last four years?
Speaking on Daley. Is the kid/guy just too involved with his celeb lifestyle and that being the reason he hasn't fulfilled any sort of potential he's supposed to have? He came into this saying how he would be winning gold and he crashed out like that before giving a "poor me" emotional interview on BBC. Should he get another opportunity? He said he'll be ready for Tokyo but should the money be invested elsewhere?
Indeed if ever someone's body language was 'Look just get the **** out of the way. Ok!!!' That was it.
There seemed to be loads of possible DQ's in that race and **** all has been given, yet in the semi final when there was nothing wrong with any team, 3 teams got DQ'ed. ****ing bullshit. At least the Brazilians really helped contribute to that race... oh wait.
Nah, he just had a **** day is all, the prelim rounds he smashed it and scored higher than anyone else has done in the 10m at these Olympics, deserves another go. Just think what his presence and media coverage, as well as medals won, has done for the sport of diving not only making it more popular but better funded too, without him who knows whether people like Laugher would have even got into diving or had the funding to perform lke he did?
