Olympics day 12th




Finally in the end, it’s a great performance for the Chinese and another gold for the diving team. But this time definitely it’s worth the wait and totally is based on great talent. He Chong is the person to beat since the start of the Final of the springboard 3m. From the start his dive is perfect through and through all 6 combinations of dives broke the 90 points mark. And leading the pack the margin between the diver just keep getting larger and larger until the last dive it’s too hard for anyone to even get into the same league of He. Alexandre Despatie did a great job waiving off Qin Kai, and got the Silver and in the end Qin Kai can only manage to snatch the bronze medal. The 3 divers are just excellent in their performance there’s no way that the chasing pack can reach them by the end of the 4th round.



Yesterday also marks the ending for all Artistic Gymnastic Finals. Men’s Gymnastic ended with parallel bar and high bar. It is a shame that Hambuechen again fail to enter the medal in the parallel bar and have to watch the medal slip from his arm while waiting for the other participant beating him down one by one. Yet it’s a celebration finally in the end when Hambuechen started the High Bar with a great performance. Though it’s not his usual exciting and high difficulty performance, but the secure routine have made a great difficult chase for those contestants to follow. But China Zou Kai did present a better routine and beat Hambuchuen in the event. While waiting for the round to be over, USA Jonathan Horton finally make a move to try and over take the leader with a perfect routine that include 3 throw and rotation and hand switch that in my opinion should be the best performance and straight away raise the bar of any follower. Though the rest of the contestant try to defeat Horton with routine that contains almost the same routine, yet one by one they falter. It is a great games to watch the ending of the Gymnastic. China's men team almost sweep off all the finals in this year's Olympics.
