We saw the 3m springboard finals last night, which were good, and tonight we saw the 10m platform finals. In the women's, GB Tonia Couch came 4th, and the Chinese got gold and silver. I think Mexico got bronze. The Chinese divers are absolutely astounding. In the men's, Mexico came third, Russia got second and Tom Daley got gold. His first two dives weren't great, but he really improved over the rest of the contest and he got the only two 10s in the whole contest. He won by 5 points, but his best dives were really really good.
There were lots of screaming teenage girls with "we love you Tom" flags.
After the medal presentation he walked around the pool in front of the audience and we said "well done Tom" and he said "thank you" and gave us a thumbs up. My friend Ruth's niece is going to be green with envy when she hears that.
I have so enjoyed watching this contest. I'm not sure I'd travel to watch it, but if FINA ever want to bring the World Series back to Edinburgh, I'd definitely go again. And it really makes me want to get Commonwealth Games tickets next year.
