Jaw-dropping

A few years ago I remember watching the diving competition at, I think, the Commonwealth Games. I know nothing about diving but quite quickly became an armchair critic on the sport. But I never saw anything like this:

This boy is 13 years old. He'll be at the Olympics this year. I think there's a chance we'll be hearing God Save the Queen.

(And yes, I have finished my essay, why do you ask? *g*)

Congratulations on finishing the essay. The diving's impressive but "God Save the Queen" still seems like a long shot. Not that I'm any judge - my negativity is just conditioning!

LOL - I know, it's easier to expect the worst and avoid the inevitable disappointment.
