keithgersbear 3,225 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I don't get the hype over this guy. People jumping up and down because he won a Bronze medal. Kind of pathetic really. I think he got more attention than the guy who actually won the Gold. Kind of sums up what is wrong with this country. Why is Tom Daley such a celebrity and getting such praise when he hasn't been that successful?Perhaps I am the only one with this view but I find it a bit odd.

philiprfc 1,799 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 He HAS been successful though in the past, he's won golds at the world championships and European championships, and remember that he's only 18 and he's been through a pretty hard time the last year or so.

Gazzalivesforever 1,985 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Mate an Olympic medal is an Olympic medal. He's current European champion. Although I do think he likes a bit of bumhole loving. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Pepper 117 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 He's a darlin'.I also agree that he is a daaaaaaalin! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moody Blue Legend 61,035 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Fair play to the boy on getting a medal. He does get a lot of media attention that seems a bit over the top.I also think he is as bent as the back road tae Shotts Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncan 23 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Apparently goes out with one of the female syncro 3m springboard girls. Don't think he is overrated at all though! Former world champ, current european champ and now an olympic bronze medallist. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSuedeSambas 53,548 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 He's been one of the poster boys in the build up to this Olympics.Of course there was going to be a lot of hype about him if he finished in a medal position. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
derek1872 548 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 This was probably the greatest diving competition since The L word was on TV. His score would have secured gold in most other events over the years. Plus he is only 18 he will grow from this.Defo bats for the other side right enough. No muff diving for this lad.

ScottBF2 3,540 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 He's a brilliant diver. He was 12 points off of an Olympic gold. Boudia and the other Chinese guy were both outstanding on the night though and both deserved to be ahead of Daley.Definitely a poof though.

Jelavic191 4,295 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 The guy who finished 9th had enough points to win a competition anywhere else in the world.There was hype because people know who he is and expected him to get a gold medal without actually knowing much about diving. He probably expected Silver at best himself since the Chinses guy Qui Bo is the best in the world.Guess no-one saw the American having the 6 best dives of his life.

Liam_RFC 238 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 He was a world champion at 15 and Winning a bronze medal is an achievement a massive one and he's only 18 the 2 guys that beat him were the 2 best divers on the planet just infront of mcgaydy and Ashley young Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Hilts 12,819 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 i have no real interest in the diving or any other Olympic event, but coming 3rd out of the top 12 divers in the world is a good achievement in my opinion Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gers1690 194 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 He's only 18, been doing this since he was 13 - he's had a tough year with his Dad dying of brain cancer, doing one of the toughest sports in the olympics which has almost always been dominated by the Americans and Chinese. He's also won Gold at the European Championships; World Championships and Commonwealth Games and now a bronze in the summer olympics. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
