10 meter diving

Today I wanted to watch Olympics. I turned to the TV, there was only 10 meter diving. Grandma said it is like jumping from our 3rd floor to the ground. I thought that was high. I asked grandma why there were two divers. She said not only the movement should be good, they should be identical. That was very hard to do. Chinese team was up to jump. The difficulty was 3.4. I didn’t know if it was hard or not. They jumped, flipped forward in the air and stretched out straight. They landed in the water with a splash. It was a small splash. They looked like a needle going into the water. I thought the Chinese team was good because they were identical and splash wasn’t big.

Next was an England little boy with an adult. They jumped off the board, twisted, flipped and straightened. But they were not very straight and landed in the water. The water had a big splash and one was faster than the other. Their score wasn’t as high as Chinese’s. but they were still pretty good.

Chinese won so China earned a gold Medal.
