China Win Men's 10m Platform Diving Gold - London 2012 Olympics

China's Cao Yuan and Zhang Yanquan win gold in the men's 10m platform diving event at the London 2012 Olympic Games (30 July).

Mexico's German Sanchez Sanchez and Ivan Garcia Navarro won silver in the event with the USA's Nicholas McCrory and David Boudia winning bronze.

Diving was included in the Olympic Games for the first time at the 1904 Games in St Louis. The springboard and platform events have been included since the 1908 Olympic Games in London. Since the Stockholm Games in 1912, women have taken part in the diving events. The diving programme has been relatively stable since the 1928 Games in Amsterdam: men and women take part in 10-metre high-dive and 3-metre springboard events. In 2000, the Sydney Games witnessed the entrance of synchronised diving on both the springboard and the platform.

The Chinese will always be for me the best. Everything is so precise and unique.

They’re incredible and that’s how it is when you can match each other’s talent. Unfortunately for Tom Daley at this point no one could match him to give them a chance for a medal

[SarahKimbts]

The chinese are crazy. How the heck are these two divers SO WELL IN SYNC with one another! Wow brilliant brilliant diving!!!

[TheVincentVanGogh]

'You can say sync if they both hit their heads in the same time'..LoL

Hi Clark. Sorry, I know nothing about diving and I can see now that Tom makes less splash. It looks like Pete is straight when he hits the water but continues to rotate, creating the splash. It looks like Tom has under rotated but continues to the straight as he hits the water, making less splash. Neither of these entries look as good as the Chineese pair

Mexico, being a small and poor country, can win  a silver in an Olympics is really a great achievement.

Who is missing the 2020 Olympic games?

[bossgbana]

China will always be the G O A T when he comes to diving

[mwangikimani]

You have to understand that Chinese divers begin training together as early as 6yrs old - and I mean serious training. Thats hard to beat.

Its better to just show the highlighted dives rather than so many diff dives sometimes at diff angles and at slow mo.

Has anyone ever hit their head on the way down?

[NN-fwqf]

I get dizzy just imagining standing up there🥴😰

TOM DALEY ♥ BEST DIVER ON EARTH !!! AND GOT THE POINTS FOR TEAM GB

[jumpingaround]

China Always Wins Bro Mexico Is Always Second Lol But Great Diving These 2 Countrys Are Just Too Good

Pete was straight on entry. Tom Wasn't.

[ZeidGho]

They're actually one, but using secret Chinese technology to clone him

A little confused with the heading to this clip. It should read "China Wins Men's Sync. 10m Platform Diving Gold - London 2012 Olympics".  I was afraid we had to forfeit the Gold for the USA on the Individual gold won by David Boudia.

The Britannics weren't synchronized at all on their last dive. Neither was the last team (Italia or Mexico I think? I couldn't see the flag).

china is beast give them the respect they deserve

[clarkpitti]

I feel like the GB team is always let down by pete.
