I completely agree. And the thing I love most about speedos is how sleek, form fitting and tight they are. Anything bulkier or baggier would get pulled right off from a head first high dive. It's also why I'm such a huge fan of speedos for underwater swimming and diving. So sleek, efficient and elegant.

BTW, the linked video is not available in my region. :-( maybe I can find it on YouTube.

This isn't available in the UK, diveguy, but might be where you are? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Ef7Nm1v5_4 Or google 'Daley Denny dive' - you want the video of Tom Daley and James Denny's synchro dive, followed by Domonic Bedggood and Matthew Mitcham's.

I've really enjoyed watching the diving, it's fast becoming one of my favourite sports.

Tom Daley was outstanding, his fifth dive in the 10m final was near perfect and he fully deserved the gold. Shame Matt Mitcham had such a poor event but it shows that even the most finely tuned athletes have off days - just happened to be the worst day to have an off day!

It was also great to see young Matt Dixon competing, i saw him dive at a junior event not so long ago and he blew the competition out of the water. At just 14 and competing in such a huge event he showed nerved of steel, without a doubt a name to remember for the future of British diving.
