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*)

They just featured him on the news here a couple of days ago cause the Olympic qualifying event is on in Beijing right now. I don't know about him winning since the Chinese are in a league of their own be is is so impressive for a 13 year old (said by she who can't even dive from the 3 metre platform)

I get scared just watching him wobble on the end of the board. Especially when he's doing the handstand one.
