Elegant Olympic dives fly by in a matter of seconds. Because of that, it’s hard to know what to look for when you try to judge the sport from your couch. One thing that’s easy to see, though? The splash.
If you’ve watched any Olympics diving coverage, you may have noticed that the splashes athletes make are tiny. Divers spend years training to perform with minimal splash, in the same way that gymnasts train to stick their landings.
In this video, Team USA’s head diving coach Drew Johansen explains the three major components he uses to guide his athletes towards smaller splashes: the above water position, the underwater swim, and the underwater pike.
And while the sport of diving isn’t all about getting splashes, a small splash is the perfect punctuation to a job well done.

Olympic diving just got better without crowd. You could hear the board bending and water splashing. Too satisfying to watch.
Excellent observation.
also I think tension get lessen as there are less people watching
I think I also heard the sound their body made when spinning
That is so true, as well as Volleyball omg
I can't watch without feeling horrible for the people we just put at risk during a global pandemic for advertisers to make bank and jocks to get medals.
It only takes one person to mutate a vir us and we know healthy v4ccinat3d people are getting infected. Most children under twelve have not been v4ccinat3d.
My condolences to the world for the money hungry companies and clout chasing athletes that put the games over the wellbeing of humanity.
So disgusting.
She didn’t get 0 points because of her splash, she got 0 points because she failed the dive, meaning she never completed the dive she was told to do.
isn't that kind of obvious?
She did dive into the water
Exactly, it is a no dive if the hands aren't the first and only point to enter the water first.
One diver in the synchronised landed hands and feet, under rotated, and even though his partner was near perfect they scored zeros.
Not the splash but the entry, as huge slashes have scored so long and hands enter first.
I mean obviously if you enter wrong there a huge splash, but as they pointed out there is no specific rule about the splash it just falls under the aesthetics of the dive and execution.
@@dunkingstudios maybe but it's not what they said in the video
@@dunkingstudios not really, at least to me, an outsider. I thought she would have gotten something below 5/10.
I thought it was about who could do the most spinny spins and highest jums.
Its in the ozzylympics...
It's just like sticking the landing in gymnastics. Of course, the difficulty of the dive matters the most, but the landing also affects the score quite a bit.
That's my understanding as well. Spinny spins, big ol jums, and a wee lil plop. Easy.
The splash is an indication of the divers technique and control. if the divers is still spinning or past the vertical , it will results in lots of splash.
@@Jesse__H Wee Lil Plop is my new rap name
The Chinese national diving competitions are amazing. You have multiple Olympic-tier divers doing perfect or close to perfect dives, and throughout all of this, the commentators are just constantly criticising (in Mandarin) on what the divers could have done better. It's hilarious. (You can find these comps on UA-cam.)
pretty much every skill-based hobby community is like this, running, art, even translating light fiction. people always have to criticize other people to prop up their own egos. it just makes me sad.
@@icecreambone they don't bring up their ego criticizing them, the athletes build on this criticm, however harsh it may be.
That's the point of commentators at high levels sports, they point out the minute flaws so that laymen like us can understand what differentiates the dives. If the commentators just kept saying "that's awesome! that's great!" then there's no point having them there.
@@icecreambone haha, That's quite an long running joke for commentators:
"Who is this guy who commentating? Does he even know how to dive/play ball/shooting etc?"
"Dear, he is the world champing."
Malaysian divers take note ....
There were 3 perfect dives (10s from all judges) today by the 14 year old Quan Hongchan from China at the 2020 Olympics. It was the least amount of splash I've ever seen in any dive!
IKR!!!! She will definitely go far in the diving world. Such a well deserved gold medal
The olympic official page ignored her though. I kinda sus that Instagram Olympic is Partial yet olympic is all about non discrimination, equality bla bla ( they don't even follow their motto😂)
She really is amazing!
Next time USA needed more improvements than China’s player… she was only 14 years old but mind blowing talent !!
I didn't even know 14 year olds could participate in Olympics. That's very very impressive
14 years old gold medalist Quan Hong Chen is going to be around for a long time. She's gonna dominate since she won by so much at the Olympics already at such a young age. too impressive!
Yeahh
@@sara_ye something burning here‼️💩💩
Like you know everything. 👎
You are among those people who hate China because they are superior (in every feild) then their country, but can't digest the fact..
@@sara_ye small body ≠ small splash
A bigger hand and a bigger body gives a diver an advantage as it makes it easier for them to control the water underwater and break the bubble faster.
@@jigzaw4595 You can not compare her dive to men's dives :! IMPOSSIBLE
Quan Hongchan‘s dive, especially her splash is just perfect, can’t believe you didn’t include her in the episode
This video must have been in production way before that.
@@tmip4379 maybe you right.
Copyright issues.
@@tmip4379 It says in the description it's from August.
@@billgu7784 what? Right after the failure they showed how she did a perfect dive
This information will likely never be useful to me at all, but it's still fairly interesting.
yes
I think that's the goal with this series.
The use is entertainment.
useful for new divers
Likely?more like "unequivocally".
I feel so bad for the diver who slipped, I'm sure it was something she couldnt control and was just an unlucky slippery board :(
Same, every time I see a slip I feel like it could be avoided if they would towel down the boards between each dive? Or I am just not understanding what is actually happening..??
To be fair it was pretty funny though
@@jamesatherton1853 Haha no
the boards have a very gritty texture on the surface, but with the amount of force you are putting on the board and the board back on to you, if your body is a little too far off center in any direction you can still slip somewhat easily. it happens more at highschool level as the boards aren’t replaced as often as a college/uni would, so the grit wears down more.
Tbh that's not a good example for them to pick as the "bad dive" because we all can obviously see that she made a mistake. She slipped after first jump, could pick other dive. Still great video tho ...
The 14 year old Quan Hongchan just made 2 perfect jumps at the 10m platform
ikr congrats to her
She's special
i thought she got 3 perfect jumps? some news did say its 2. im confused
@@gwen1193 in the other dive she had 10s too but mixed with 9.5s. Of the five dives, she had two that were all 10s. :)
@@gwen1193 For one of her jumps, 6 judges gave her 10 points and one judge gave her 9.5. The 9.5 didn't go into the final calculation of her score. You can't say whether that is perfect or not
I saw HC Quan of China diving in Tokyo Olympics, She is 14 years old and is almost perfect. Quite Impressed.
Quan Hongchan
Yes, that kid is sooooo impressive! She’s real prodigy on diving!!
I know right! Listen I don't care about your stance on China, but this has to be impressive.
This video needs an update with the young Chinese athlete who just scored the highest score ever which included 2 perfect dives!
and she is 14 yrs old...
Or yang jian who just scored the highest diving score ever
You can forget about that. From all the failed dives, VOX deliberately chose one from a Chinese diver who happened to dive on a slippery board (when it was an accident, not even a technical failure to begin with).
I think it's ironic that they use a Chinese diver for making big splash when they've had the reputation for being the most consistent at doing rip entry.
For real !
100%
It's to compare
Just for comparison I think cause she has a big splash and a little splash
It's not ironic, they used the same person to demonstrate a big splash and the little splash. The Chinese diver created a big splash because she failed the dive. She fell off the board and hit the water completely out of position which created a big splash. Then they show an example of her doing the dive correctly and creating the little splash.
Here after Quan Hongchan made the perfect dive!
When Neymar dives, he's going for the biggest splash.
Same as Sterling
Lol
😂🤣😂
but before he does a triple twisting somersault
As a Brazilian I confirm this to be true. 😂
If I had never watched diving before, I'd think USA was the world best at diving after watching this video. China wins almost every gold for ALL diving events every world tournament and olympics. They only missed 1 this olympics. Theyre always unreachable in scoring. Sometimes 100 points above third place which is as if they had an extra dive which scored perfect
Well, its sorta common knowledge that the chinese are on top when it comes to diving.
Katie George obviously not a common knowledge to the editor of this video. No Chinese athletes were mentioned at all, even they have gold medal winning forms and water splashes.
Katie George oh sorry, there is a Chinese diver mentioned as an example of failed dive
I am sure they are all on steroids
@@level1selamat155 Yeah Im sure they are considering china has lowest amount of doping violations among the big countries... USA 2nd Russia first australia 3rd
Depending on the difficulty, getting next to no splash is always the key to bigger points total. Someone told me that years ago. I always thought the size of the splash didn't matter. And because there's no crowd, hearing that *"rip"* sounds great.
If the diver is still spinning or past the vertical at the time of entry, the amount of splash will show it.
Can you explain what Difficulty in Diving is?.. I sometimes saw it was 0 and Then Round 3 or 5 The Difficulty increased.. (Im not Familiar with Diving Rules)
@@meingoobby8231 the divers will let the judges know what dives they are making. The difficulties are fixed
Came from Quan HongYuan's perfect performance. Seriously, its amazing
wow Vox, you just made a video about diving, and when you talked about failed dives with 0 points, that is the only time you showed Chinese divers, which are actually the most dominant in this sport.
Vox agenda pushing by highlighting Western divers as good and Chinese divers as bad. Vox spreading false perceptions and delusions of grandeur. This is partly why western divers can never improve and catch up to Chinese divers.
酸呗，点开视频前我就知道会黑中国，而且这科普的还没B站自媒体科普的好
Omg yall soft
Did we watch the same video? They literally then showed the same Chinese diver doing a world class, successful dive immediately afterwards.
@Bro Momento Or maybe you should cry because this 14 year old person got a higher score and you're here literally complaining about every Chinese related thing.
If you want to see perfect performance just watch Chinese guys, they took all 🥇 in Olympic
We only got seven gold medals. One lost to the English by one point.
@@pptskills Yeah... "Only" 7 golds (on 8 possible) + 5 silver (all possible) 😂
yet this video shows bad examples from chinese divers and good examples from people they like. funny.
@@timetraveller2300 you ignored the good example from the same Chinese diver afterwards?
The Chinese didn’t win all the 🥇 The UK won the 10m Men’s Synchro.

Quan Hongchan and Chen Yuxi
Chinese divers mastered this so well, even American women national team has Chinese trainers just to be able to compete with the Chinese team.
americans are doing great, the team was weak in this field, now they are getting medals. the game isn't about getting them tho, it's about breaking personal bests or team bests

@@allenzhu3478 no, this is a competition, if you want break your own best record, why join the competition?
Then how come the US has wayyy more gold medals than China in diving? In total and this year.
@@andrewdoesyt7787 what? This year’s Olympic for diving, US only has sliver and bronze…. Historically, China didn’t join international games until 1980s, so for sure they won’t be able to get as much as US did; US joining the game since 1920s. But since China joined the game in 1980, they dominating the game until now, for Olympic only, they managed to catch up with US in forty years, now they are two gold medals less than US, it is expected to outrank US by 2024. Now Russian, Germany are also highly competitive.
the chinese just got 3 perfect 10.. and she was 14 yo, she was outstanding
Perfect tiny splash.
thats what she said
@@aimanhaqimi5698 ha😊
What a painstaking effort to avoid praising any Chinese divers.
Why must everything be about race
@@Khatulistiwan china won like every gold for last 5 olympics yet they dont even get mentioned once positively. Imagine they kept showing americans falling over in athletics and chinese people winning.

Love the dive of the Gold medalist of women's 10m platform earlier. Barely any splash, just ripple.
And she's only 14 years old
Her name is Quan Hongchan
@@silveriver9 Look at the misery of her moves in diving compared to men ! Come on !

@Leka Floyd So that means the Corona came from your place?
@Leka Floyd salty
As a swimmer who’s scared of heights and gets nauseous easily, this is intriguing
I swim competitively but I’m scared of heights 😭 diving is my least favourite part of an event but I understand it’s important
Vox has never failed answering the question that has stayed in my mind. Just like this question that popped off after I watched the Olympic dive. Great job Vox!
Have you interviewed Tom Daley or the Chinese teams to confirm the theories? 🤣
Gotta check with the best 🤣
Nah vox is too patriotic to do that lol
Vox deliberately highlighting Western divers as good and Chinese divers as bad. Vox spreading false perceptions and delusions of grandeur. This is partly why western divers can never improve and catch up to Chinese divers.
I’ve been watching your videos for years and promoted your channel to many of my friends. But seeing this one, it TOTALLY disappoints me. Not because I’m Chinese, but for what I always appreciate in your videos, the respect for truth and diversity, has gone.
China definitely nails it in diving
what's that to do with the video about physics?
@@Vapouriste how they compare a 0 mark Chinese diver, with a 7-8 mark American one. If they really wanted to compare, why not use a full mark (perfect 10) as a reference? The Chinese divers got a perfect 10, yet there is no mention or analysis of why they got full marks.
@@vegandonut5456 Have you watched the part where they literally show the same diver make a great dive ?
well, what I saw today for the 2 perfect dives from the Chinese Quan Hongchan on the 10m platform technically wasn't a dive, it seems like she entered a portal lol!
people commenting "i make a bigger splash even when i'm only dropping a dumpling"
I thought Vox was going to analyze dives from China's new 14 year-old Tokyo Olympics champion. Disappointed.
This video was published less than a day after she won. I don't think it took them less than a day to make this video. That is why she is not here. Common sense.
@@counterfeitt There are multiple examples to show how a perfect dive could be done from previous world competitions or Olympics, but they must choose one from the US team, and include one example where a Chinese diver failed (when it was more of an accident as the board was slippery, not of an imperfect technique or poor execution).
10 2006 Chinese athletes won majority of gold medals in diving, yet they pick a zero point player as illustration.
hadnt happened yet
Oh my god, I bet Chinese media produce content that focuses on their strengths and accomplishments, too, like, do you go fuss at them for that?
Nitpicking but it bothered me as someone who used to dive. They didn’t scratch her dive because of a big splash. You can have a huge splash, you’ll just get less points.
They scratched the dive because she didn’t complete what she said she would. You choose the dives you are doing well before the competition starts, and there is no changing it. If you see you will do a reverse one and a half, you won’t get points for a reverse flip or a reverse double. You have to do the dive listed.
Im nitpicking at this too. Vox has some really insightful, quality made videos but they really slacked in the research department this one time.
Came here because of the 14 years old just won the Olympic 2020 with a perfect 10 score 👍
Quan Hongchan is her name.
Love how vox picked on a Chinese diver for the fail splash
But it's funny 😆
Exactly. They sulky
Yet China is the strongest country by far in diving. Classic Vox
Gotta push the narrative
i think they wanted to show her bad dive and perfect dive for compare and contrast, its really not that deep...
It's funny to take a Chinese diver as a failed example, while they literally crashed everyone else in the Olympics.
did pooh blocked your UA-cam so you do see the video in full?
@@den-iq1cv Even non-Chinese support China on this. Take me for example. Why must u take the fail footage of China who ace the sport in Olympic to compare with diver who is not even good in this sport? Oh yes, jealousy.
@@JustinLBK Hanlon's razor: they took her example because she had big and tiny splashes at the same contest. Did you watch the whole video?
apart from Tom and Matty in the mens synchro
@@JustinLBK She didn't use her just for her fail, but both her fail and then success later as a comparison. You're looking too much or little into this, depending on the perspective
This was unexpected for me. It was UNBELIEVABLY interesting. I woulda watched a full 90 min documentary on this. Thanks
I so love this channel - so much interesting content. This is something a diver (diver’s team) would know but most other people aren’t likely to research it
This got recommended to me after China's pairs excellent dive
The fact that what you do under the water affects the splash is something I'd never considered, but makes so much sense now that you mention it
I am an ardent admirer of spring board and platform diving - particularly the incredible synchronized diving. To me this kind of diving is THE MOST demanding form of athletic sport there is. Nothing else even comes close. The incredible, precision timing, body tuck, angular momentum generation, and then the final entry into the water is beyond unbelievably awesome. However I never realized the additional precision work that goes into the actual entry and post entry into the water to minimize the surface splash. WOW! These guys who do this are more incredible and amazing than even I imagined. 😊👍
I've teached myself to just wait for Tom Daley when someone speaks about diving. Wait for it, wait for it... There it is ! Always works 😌
True! Hopefully he’ll win gold for the individual 10m tomorrow and saturday!!!❤️🤞🏼
It's down to China and great britain, like in synchro diving. Im from china but good luck to Tom!

The Chinese guy Cai Yang won the diving competition this year on all three categories. It's a historic win for China. UK's Tom Delaney got the Bronze medal. It was a fantastic competition to watch. All the same, all the divers looked really beautiful and graceful.
Of all the perfect and near perfect dives by Chinese divers (who have actually dominated the sport for decades), Vox chooses a blunder by a Chinese diver to demonstrate.
imagine posting this video criticizing the performance of Chinese athletes while at the same time in Tokyo they are awarded the gold and silver medal for women's diving from 10m platform...
How is this video criticizing Chinese divers? He just used Chang as an example of how the Worthington jet works and even shows how she got much better dive later.
@@bea8861 It is certainly part of Vox's anti-china propoganda since 2017. All of the perfect dives ever but one in international events were performed by Chinese divers, and yet the only Chinese dives featured in this video is a failed dive and a below average one (in fact, the worst dive from her in that final). It is like a video talking about how to shoot 3 pointers in basteball perfectly, and showing footages of DeAndre Jordan making threes as postive examples and Steph Curry sliped at the dunk attempt and shot an air ball from the corner afterwards in staples center as a negative example. Not mentioning the techinique to minimize the splash are discovered by Chinese coaches back in the days.
The same "non-obvious" double-standards were featured in many Vox's videos since 2017. Honestly I feel sad for the American general public, they have no ideas about what is really going on in China because of this propagandas, while most of the ordinary Chinese know exactly what is going on in the US. If the day that two giants clash together comes (hopefully not), the Americans would suddenly realize how "arrogant" they had been this whole time.
@@bea8861 you're kidding right? The only failure in the video is of a Chinese diver while all successful ones are of Americans. This wasn't an "example". It was an attempt to minimize China's dominance over the sport.
And winning both Gold and Silver in the individual men's 10m platform--Cao Yuan and Yang Jian! I like the American divers, especially Jordan Windle. But the Americans did not do well. Plenty of splash.
@@lillilacac Did you not see the first second of the video? Literally a non-Chinese diver splashes onto his back.
funny how they chose a chinese diver for the failed example when the chinese dominates olympics diving, like it or not, its the fact

Bruh they used her bad and good splashes for example. Snowflakes
The bit about the hands was really interesting and counterintuitive. I just assumed divers got their hands really pointy like a waterbird's beak 🐦.
Then making all that froth and bubble underwater was amazing. Just goes to show how much science has to be learned in sport.
In an alternate reality, there’s an olympic dive event where the divers try to make the BIGGEST splash
The bigger the dive the higher the injury, I guess people from alternate reality don't want to injure themselves.
Belly Flop time
I've seen a video about that somewhere, idk where and I forgot when, but its about making the most splatter when in contact with water, its not in olympics tho. Or not considered to be professional sports. Just I think like one of those goofy sports like Slapping tournaments or smthn
Doesn’t Red Bull do something like that? Lol
In that case we'll probably be seeing obese people landing splat in the water
China just did a hat trick with Quan Hongchan. Why didn’t you guys show that. That was one for the history books
Need to ask the Chinese divers for confirmation
I’ve seen this same video every 4 years for my entire life. I swear lol this and the long jump and pole vault. This was definitely one of the best on diving
May be you could use China national team’s perfect 10 as your example.

A few days back I was wondering how these divers are given points literally I couldn't see any difference for the most scored dive of all time.
This video has a good explanation....
Fantastic video! Easy to understand, beautiful animations, and good music too. Love when science is presented so simply. :)
vox never fails to make amazing contents!!!! After watching the 10m Women’s Plat - Olympics I couldn’t help but wonder how did China Diver did so well! This pretty much explains it thankssss!!!!
if i took this video at face value, i would be led to believe that western divers are the best while chinese divers are slipping off the diving boards looking a fool
there's a pretty obvious agenda. i wish people would just let sports be sports. it's not even pro-china to acknowledge the fact that chinese divers are good. that's just the reality of competitive diving
I always await that splash when I watch dives, it’s so satisfying to see how big or small it may come out >
I'm glad so many of the comments are talking about how American-centered this video is, doing a great disservice to the quality of the Chinese team
Fun fact: The water splash that comes with diving is called the water flower
if you know anything about diving, you probably know that Chinese divers are arguably the most precise and technical with splash management, in fact this specific technique you talked about was first discovered by Chinese coaches a couple of decades ago. Yet the only time a Chinese diver shows up in your vid is to demonstrate a 0/10 dive followed by a pretty mediocre dive🥲 and big ups to the amazing 14 yr old diver Quan Hong Chan for scoring two perfect scores to win the Olympic 10m diving gold with a total score of 466(world record)🤲🏻
edit: in the current anti-Asian climate, this can come across as a little insensitive because dedicating a whole vid to diving techniques without showing any Chinese divers seems pretty intentional if you have been paying attention to diving in the past couple of decades.
And since people wanna bring up the Chinese government and politics under this thread, yes we demand accountability from the PRC government, but how is acknowledging the athletic talent of Chinese divers related to glorifying political actions from the PRC
and in your logic, should we not acknowledge the Canadian athletes because half of Canada's history is colonial genocide and the current Canadian foster care system is practically the legal version of residential schools? should we not acknowledge the American athletes because the whole of America is the definition of mass incarceration and institutional discrimination? We shouldn't be comparing problems with problems but since people wanna go there.
buddy its america, it plays well for their small egos to do this
I mean, China are some of the best in the world at most Olympic sports. I don't really see why it's such a big deal.
China is currently allowing the mass incarceration, and genocide of an entire group of people. Let’s maybe not glorify them or their athletes right now 🤗
@@paradoxicalcitizen1139 Buddy, UA-cam is a worldwide platform. I won't point out your grammatically incorrect points such as its. Wouldn't want to hurt your ego.
Yeah, the West is racist. It's been that way since the concept of East and West existed. Vox is very left wing, so they supposedly aren't supposed to be as racist as the right wing, but the truth is that the left wing is also racist, but they hide it better and aren't as open about it.
more of these videos, this is really educational and easy to understand
Wow I just became way more interested in the high jump. I had no idea it took this much effort to make a small splash.
I assumed it was just about making the body as skinny as possible, thus making a small splash. I never thought about what’s happening to air pockets under the surface.
I always wondered the importance of showing the divers under the surface but now I know.
Any way China was only dominant player of diving games and she falls accidentally but she got bronze medal in that competition. Try to find another example of your video edition American first and heal your prejudice against China.

Absolutely agree with you.

So interesting! I always thought the splayed out arms under water were simply to stop the divers' momentum down to the bottom of the pool. I would have never thought any movements after they are underwater affect the splash.
Great video. The way it is explained and showed is amazing. As someone who has no interest in olympic diving, it was a very interesting video. Great job whoever was behind this.
I love this it explains a lot of stuff I never knew or understood

Shame of Vox indeed.
Im not a diving person, but while watching the Olympics, I thought about why those divers made weird movements once they were underwater. I seem to remember as a kid, I would do cannonballs and when I flailed my arms in the water, they would mess up the big bubbles and turn them almost foam like
Good explanation as to the parts of a splash and the way to minimize it through underwater maneuvers
So interesting! I dived for my province 50 years ago and never knew about the handhold or the somersault under water!

This was so interesting to watch! I never knew the methods behind the palm facing entry into the water. However I wonder why palm first is better than a streamline entry because wouldn’t streamline also cause little splash?
No because straight hands would cut the water until it reaches the head where the airbubble produced will be bigger, by cupping the hands you create a small opening for the head and torso to pass throug that will reduce the splash, allso, diving with straight hands makes the head take allot of the impact from the water which can hurt quite a bit.
In cliff diving breaking the surface with your hands is important to not dammage the head.
I thought Vox at least would be honest to mention this secret technique has discovered by the Chinese diver Coach.
Perfect. Was just discussing this recently. Now I’m informed.
What wonderful explanation video. I started diving in the 80's when the 'rip entry' hadn't really been discovered yet, and dives were judged very well indeed. It is such a shame in this day and age to see dives poorly executed but with a rip entry score 8.5's and 9's when they are scarcely deserved 😪
Vox reached a new low
Anyone here from last night's women's 10m semi-final and final when Hongchan (14years) from China nailed the dive and got gold?
It’s very interesting.I was surprised that a little motion is changed their performances.Also their performances are beautiful.
That was delightfully informative...I love something new everyday!
More interesting than i thought
can we talk about why the successful examples are all from white divers, and the chinese woman gets the slip and fall example?
So true
Vox agenda pushing by highlighting Western divers as good and Chinese divers as bad. Vox spreading false perceptions and delusions of grandeur. This is partly why western divers can never improve and catch up to Chinese divers.
I scoured the comments and people are talking about it. You are right.
Thx Vox for answering questions we never asked
The more I watch these Olympics videos, the more I realize how technical all of these events are. I know that's the point of these videos, but it's refreshing to see how they actually work and are judged.
Chinese divers are known to be the flawless ones... lol didn't know they would even fail
they are overall, still humans
Chinese people are so prideful lol. I've seen like a half dozen comments from chinese user names here coping hard over showing one of their divers fail. Yourself included lol. Chinese people arent perfect, sorry to burst your bubble.
@@fire_rises no one is perfect ever same to the Team USA men’s 4X100 relay
@@fire_rises it's not about pride, it's about a wrong image conveyed by this video.
Showing how great the American and british divers perform, while showing the Chinese diver fails is drawing a clear contrast stylistically. It's just ironic when china is literally the champion (overall) in diving.
I know we sound pressed, but wouldn't you be just as confused if a video about gymnastics would show how great the e.g. German gymnasts are while only showing the Americans represented as Simone Biles quitting, when America is leading in gymnastics?
We just want fair representation, that's all.
Not only Chinese, its literally all east Asians, just check out Japanese and Korean. We see more Chinese because there are more Chinese out there hahaha. At some point you also see Vietnemese pro at something as well, maybe they are too close to those East Asian countries, hahahah.
So after watched this video we all know China is bad at competitive diving……lets see which country got the most gold medals……oh….
is that what you got from a video about physics ? Where 1 Chinese diver is mentioned ? Is your attention span that short and selective ? Or are you using a sad bad-faith argument ?
I can’t believe I JUST watched the first few seconds of this video from another video. LOL!
Honestly, I’ve never wanted to be a diver, but it is really fun to watch
