It was already no gold sweep when the Russian won the 3m. In the 10m China was leading in preliminary and semis. The US guy just scrape thru in 18th to go semi. From 18th to gold, wow.So no gold sweep for Chn in this diving competish....

If you look carefully at the final dive through reply, I don't know how Qiu Bo doesn't get a higher score with a higher DoD.
I know. I meant I saw how the American dived in preliminary round, a lot of mistakes, that's why he ended up in 18th. At one point Boudia looked like he wasnt going to make the semis. In semi was better but overall US is lesser known as compared to fav China, Aust(2008 OG champion Matthew Mitcham) and England's Tom Daley. China was leading 1,2 in preliminary and semi, doing very good dives, the others had hitches here & there.Points doesn't carry over, so as long as you can get into final, anything goes.
The reasons :
1. Qiu Bo already in 3rd before final dive and the gap of score between him and Daley&Boudia quite "large", he had to play catch up
2. He didnt make perfect ending..bit of water splash while Daley and Boudia were perfect
3. Well the subjectivities are part on this sports so...even only play the tiniest part of the game it does exist.
