dang the chinese and diving has an unbreakable bond

[agungs]

Chinese is the best in diving, especially in women, no other country had a chance to compete

[mbrusk]

A great list. I remember many of these. Super fun to see the much older athletes as well and see how far the sport has progressed.

Quan Hongchan is unbelievable, the angle, the no splash diving are just impeccable..

In 1976, I lived in a rooming house at the University of California at Berkeley. When Greg Louganis was about to compete, we’d run up and down the halls, shrieking “LOU-GAAA-NIS!” so we all could crowd into the TV room, watching him compete against against Klaus DiBiasi or others.

Eight years later, in 1984, I propped a tiny portable TV onto the kitchen counter in order to prep dinner for my fiancé and myself—that is, if we were picking up a quick, homemade meal after work, or catching a few highlights before enjoying speed skating in a bar after work.

In 1988, I introduced the oldest of our three sons to Greg Louganis’ dives: whether from television, from the color photo plates in the books I owned. As our sons grew older, they’d shake their little chubby hands with those of sports journalists such as Christine Brennan—whether she was covering gymnastics, ice dancing, figure skating, long-track, or short-track speed skating.

Quan is godnes ❤ 466 in Tokyo Olympic, highest ever in history

[lauren]

Awesome ! Apart from the Greek one - that felt rigged AF

[watsong]

I don't know anything about diving but that Greek team score seems suspicious 🤔🤔🤔

[jovannymk]

Quan Hong Chan, Wu Min Xia, Guo Jing Jing and Chen Ruo Lin are obviously the prominent ones who really contributed to the greatest moments in diving history. The others really just pale in comparison

[ВикторПавлов-ту]

Спорт, это то лучшее, что придумало человечество 😊😊😊

[cumulonimbuschannel]

Wow I could have won the Olympics in the 1950’s😅😅

[NIKEGOTZE]

No one comes close to Neymar’s diver 🤷🏻‍♂️

[foxashock]

The chinese coaches must be amazing for all the divers to be so incredible.

[jackwraith]

I just hope this goes without saying that China rules.

Greg Louganis best ever. Would be doing dives with harder degrees of difficulty if he had not been like the diving equivalent of Simone Biles in gymnastics. No one else came close to him; there was no one to push him to do other than perfect dives suspended hanging in the air (or seemingly so… even today no one else does that technique “appears” to stop time and stay a while “at the top of the dive”).❤

Nah in my heart Mitcham still has the best men's eige in all of history
