Diving into Gymnastics with Nile Wilson I Tom Daley

Olympic Bronze Medalist Gymnast, Nile Wilson put me through my paces at the gym and I taught him a thing or two in the pool! I even managed to persuade him to wear a pair of my buddy smugglers!! Let me know what you think in the comments!

There are quite a few similarities between gymnastics and diving, but it is also interesting to see the many differences!

I was truly amazed until I remembered he's an elite athlete.

its interesting how tom (diver) shoots straight up and lands in like the same spot he took off, but nile (gymnast) travels more in the air. just the difference between the sports!

9:58 the man in the background flipped into another state

Nile getting excited and clapping when Tom does something right is the cutest thing ever

"I have, like no upper body strength"


he says while it's probably like 50 times the strength of mine

9:57 That guy in the back flipped into another dimension

Who knew 3 years later, Tom would be Olympic Gold Meddalist:")

You can tell Tom is a diver because he does a trick and then ends up in like the same place he started

[laurenp.]

Tom's ability to take directions and apply them to essentially complete the task at a first go is incredible. As well as with the corrections he's given when he doesn't necessarily do it right.

Nile teaches Tom how to fly, Tom teaches Nile how to fall...

"probably going to smash it like everything else" - so impressed with the two of you guys and especially Nile's supportive and encouraging attitude - so obviously natural. Congrats to you both.

Watching Tom do floor flips I guess it's so weird and he seems like he gets so much height and so much more technique like Its immediately obvious he dives I guess. It was really cool to see the contrast of gymnasts and him

9:57 top right corner holy shit that guy did a lot of backflips

[jaidynnel]

Plot twist... Tom has been doing gymnastics for half of his life secretly😂😁

[uhneiceuh]

It’s so cool how you can see the difference in the training when they do simple skills like back tucks. Nile pushes out to get his momentum to rotate while Tom is trained to stay as close as possible to his starting point.

[timadel]

athletes no matter what sports theyre is so cool to watch.. you really can see the dedication, passion, commitment on every muscle movements.. nile looks good on water and tom looks good also on gymnastics

*would actually break all 206 bones if I tried this*

[geofffikar]

No one talks about the impact force of the water. Tom makes it look so
simple, guess he's used to hitting the water. Nile is such a great athlete,
I knew he could go diving.

[niamhturner]

I didn’t realise this but Tom does flips of the diving board every day.
That explains a lot

[avapena]

Who else loves that they’re so polite to each other?
