COME ON TEAM GB - GO FOR GOLD! A past project saw me documenting a couple of our GB Olympic 2012 diving team members: Peter Waterfield and Chris Mears. Pete will be competing with partner Tom Daley in the 10m Synchro, and in the 10m Individual. Chris Mears will dive in the 3m Individual and 3m Synchro Spring Board. I have pure admiration and respect for these athletes, having seen how hard they train and the dedication involved in competing at this level. A rigorous training schedule of gymnastics, weights, trampolining, eye wateringly tough body weight excercises and physio to counteract the force of hitting the water at 40+ miles/hour all make up a normal week on top of the many hours of diving. Team GB are predicted to bring home 1-3 medals - GOOD LUCK guys, I will be cheering for you :)
