Olympic Update: Diving

The finals of the 3m Springboard...

Troy Dumais 

Mexico's Yahel Castillo, who led for a few rounds

Russia's Ilya Zakharov

Troy

Matt Mitcham, gold medalist in the 10m platform four years ago, 
cheering for Ilya

My 2008 Olympic crush, Canada's Alex Despatie

Ilya

Great Britain's Chris Mears, who finished ninth, 
but gave the dive of his life (and one of the highest-scoring) 
in front of an adoring home crowd

Once again, China's strangle hold on diving gold is broken.
Ilya wins!
