Olympic diving just got better without crowd. You could hear the board bending and water splashing. Too satisfying to watch.

The 14 year old Quan Hongchan just made 2 perfect jumps at the 10m platform

well, what I saw today for the 2 perfect dives from the Chinese Quan Hongchan on the 10m platform technically wasn't a dive, it seems like she entered a portal lol!

China has been so dominant this year in diving

Honestly, I’ve never wanted to be a diver, but it is really fun to watch

It is ill-intentioned and bad taste to use a rare mistake by a Chinese diver as a bad example and a rare success by a US diver as a good example of diving. We all know which team has the best diving performance at the Olympic: it is the Chinese team, not the US team. This piece is very badly done and made me feel ashamed to be an American.

Chinese athletes just got two perfect scores and just got gold medals, yet you use Chinese team as negative examples? That’s real impressive 🙃🙃🙃

More interesting than i thought

Vox’s new video about Quan Hongchang: Omg! They’re cruel for training a 14 yo like that!!

I'd much rather have an Olympic cannonball competition and see who can get the largest splash.

So China has been killing it in diving for like 30+ years but the only example of failed dive you find is a Chinese athlete? Well well well...

Watching this the night before my dive meet 😃

Who ever discovered this sport, is one of a kind

The two Filipino Divers explains everything!

1:15 look super impressive, i know NOTHING about this at all

I'm going to drop out of high school and just learn about life through Vox videos.

Very informative

😃 Am I the only one who looks forward to seeing Voxs content?

ive always wondered this, i thought it was what angle someone entered the water, but it seemed some would make a big splash at 90° while others made a tiny one etc

I'm barely listening. Just watching all the beautiful dives.

I Expected a small rock throw into water splash, *I did not expect something better*

1st diver remind me myself when I was a kid.

2:07 That slip could SERIOUSLY hurt her. There are thousands of failed jumps with bigger splashes, I don't see the point of choosing this one in particular. 4:07 The movement underwater could also affect the splash, interesting, I didn't know that.

I wasnt bored, i just needed to know how dey get those small splashes

Wow ,i just know this they make an olympic about the splash 😯

High Quality Stuff here. leaving a like.

Bruh I really got this suggestion while I am in hospital because of an injury caused by diving

I laughed way too hard at the opening clip

China is on the way to win Most Gold Medals and World Record in Diving already at Tokyo but the video shows one slip up and average dive. Ego will be the end of all dyansties

“He’s amazing, he’s like the Micheal Jordan of basketball”

Yani got a zero because she slipped and wasn't able to do the dive she was supposed to do, which was a forward dive with 2 somersaults and 1 twist in pike position, but she did a forward dive in tuck position with 1/2 twist instead, because her leg fell off the board as she did the culminating hurdle.

For vox producers. Thank you guys for having duch amazing teams to create this wonderful videos full of knowledge, its always fun to watch😭😭😭💖💖💖

The shade of using China divers as an example 😂 you got a LOT of examples

I thought it was about who could do the most spinny spins and highest jums.

She didn’t get 0 points because of her splash, she got 0 points because she failed the dive, meaning she never completed the dive she was told to do.

I feel so bad for the diver who slipped, I'm sure it was something she couldnt control and was just an unlucky slippery board :(

There were 3 perfect dives (10s from all judges) today by the 14 year old Quan Hongchan from China at the 2020 Olympics. It was the least amount of splash I've ever seen in any dive!

This information will likely never be useful to me at all, but it's still fairly interesting.

The Chinese national diving competitions are amazing. You have multiple Olympic-tier divers doing perfect or close to perfect dives, and throughout all of this, the commentators are just constantly criticising (in Mandarin) on what the divers could have done better. It's hilarious. (You can find these comps on RU-vid.)

When Neymar dives, he's going for the biggest splash.

I think it's ironic that they use a Chinese diver for making big splash when they've had the reputation for being the most consistent at doing rip entry.

14 years old gold medalist Quan Hong Chen is going to be around for a long time. She's gonna dominate since she won by so much at the Olympics already at such a young age. too impressive!

Quan Hongchan‘s dive, especially her splash is just perfect, can’t believe you didn’t include her in the episode

The video pretends as if the US diving team are competitive against Chinese. They are not. Not even close.

This video needs an update with the young Chinese athlete who just scored the highest score ever which included 2 perfect dives!

Wait, highest score ever is from the Chinese diver. Your content is wrong.

What a painstaking effort to avoid praising any Chinese divers.

So after watched this video we all know China is bad at competitive diving……lets see which country got the most gold medals……oh….

If you want to see perfect performance just watch Chinese guys, they took all 🥇 in Olympic

If I had never watched diving before, I'd think USA was the world best at diving after watching this video. China wins almost every gold for ALL diving events every world tournament and olympics. They only missed 1 this olympics. Theyre always unreachable in scoring. Sometimes 100 points above third place which is as if they had an extra dive which scored perfect

It's funny to take a Chinese diver as a failed example, while they literally crashed everyone else in the Olympics.

funny how they chose a chinese diver for the failed example when the chinese dominates olympics diving, like it or not, its the fact

I thought Vox was going to analyze dives from China's new 14 year-old Tokyo Olympics champion. Disappointed.

can we talk about why the successful examples are all from white divers, and the chinese woman gets the slip and fall example?

Tokyo Olympic 2020 where 2 Chinese athletes age between 14-15 there splash are so small ...

I saw HC Quan of China diving in Tokyo Olympics, She is 14 years old and is almost perfect. Quite Impressed.

Came here after China got a perfect 10 gold in diving

Shame on Vox for showing a failed dive from a Chinese diver when in fact, China dominates the diving scene. Disappointing!

vox : we are not gonna posting world best divers from China, we are gonna keep political correct, always show awkward parts of China and show the glorious moments of British and American divers. But point is, I just found out that Americans and britons are not good at this sport instead Chinese and Russians are very good at it. Amway, golden rule is political correct.

Any way China was only dominant player of diving games and she falls accidentally but she got bronze medal in that competition. Try to find another example of your video edition American first and heal your prejudice against China.

wow Vox, you just made a video about diving, and when you talked about failed dives with 0 points, that is the only time you showed Chinese divers, which are actually the most dominant in this sport.

if i took this video at face value, i would be led to believe that western divers are the best while chinese divers are slipping off the diving boards looking a fool

Here after Quan Hongchan made the perfect dive!

if you know anything about diving, you probably know that Chinese divers are arguably the most precise and technical with splash management, in fact this specific technique you talked about was first discovered by Chinese coaches a couple of decades ago. Yet the only time a Chinese diver shows up in your vid is to demonstrate a 0/10 dive followed by a pretty mediocre dive🥲 and big ups to the amazing 14 yr old diver Quan Hong Chan for scoring two perfect scores to win the Olympic 10m diving gold with a total score of 466(world record)🤲🏻 edit: in the current anti-Asian climate, this can come across as a little insensitive because dedicating a whole vid to diving techniques without showing any Chinese divers seems pretty intentional if you have been paying attention to diving in the past couple of decades. And since people wanna bring up the Chinese government and politics under this thread, yes we demand accountability from the PRC government, but how is acknowledging the athletic talent of Chinese divers related to glorifying political actions from the PRC and in your logic, should we not acknowledge the Canadian athletes because half of Canada's history is colonial genocide and the current Canadian foster care system is practically the legal version of residential schools? should we not acknowledge the American athletes because the whole of America is the definition of mass incarceration and institutional discrimination? We shouldn't be comparing problems with problems but since people wanna go there.

Chinese divers mastered this so well, even American women national team has Chinese trainers just to be able to compete with the Chinese team.

May be you could use China national team’s perfect 10 as your example.

imagine posting this video criticizing the performance of Chinese athletes while at the same time in Tokyo they are awarded the gold and silver medal for women's diving from 10m platform...

the chinese just got 3 perfect 10.. and she was 14 yo, she was outstanding

Have you interviewed Tom Daley or the Chinese teams to confirm the theories? 🤣

Highlighting a ‘Chinese’ diver who failed but actually named Anglo-somewhere divers for a success. Wow. Choices smell political here.

Probably shouldn't ask American coaches. You need to learn some Chinese

Chinese are dominating the diving

Need to ask the Chinese divers for confirmation

Love how vox picked on a Chinese diver for the fail splash

How ironic is that they use a Chinese diver to explain the effects of splashing when they are the juggernauts of diving in the world! as for the Chinese diver that mistake will follow her for the rest of her life as one of the most humiliating mistakes on her stellar career.

Love the dive of the Gold medalist of women's 10m platform earlier. Barely any splash, just ripple.

Of all the perfect and near perfect dives by Chinese divers (who have actually dominated the sport for decades), Vox chooses a blunder by a Chinese diver to demonstrate.

China definitely nails it in diving

One has to question the motive of using a Chinese diver as a bad example. How ironic! China have earned almost all the gold medals in diving at the recent Olympic Games. There are plenty of cannonball examples to show what a bad technique could cause. Choosing an example from an accident doesn’t serve the technical purposes.

This got recommended to me after China's pairs excellent dive

Perfect tiny splash.

Chinese divers are the best in the last decades and yet no mentioning about them doing perfect dives. But failed dives from a Chinese definitely should be included. So typical, I thought Vox can do better than this.

You should've interviewed the Chinese diving coach and diver instead on this subject.

yeah USA is the best in diving hurray! look how China is so bad at it :V

Depending on the difficulty, getting next to no splash is always the key to bigger points total. Someone told me that years ago. I always thought the size of the splash didn't matter. And because there's no crowd, hearing that *"rip"* sounds great.

the video shows at least eight white divers as examples of good dives and one Chinese diver as an example of a failed dive when in real life all the best divers are Chinese.

Chinese divers are known to be the flawless ones... lol didn't know they would even fail

Nitpicking but it bothered me as someone who used to dive. They didn’t scratch her dive because of a big splash. You can have a huge splash, you’ll just get less points. They scratched the dive because she didn’t complete what she said she would. You choose the dives you are doing well before the competition starts, and there is no changing it. If you see you will do a reverse one and a half, you won’t get points for a reverse flip or a reverse double. You have to do the dive listed.

Vox reached a new low

Ummm.. this is not the right coach to be asking.. just saying it’s not valid if China’s coach isn’t answering this question.

Came from Quan HongYuan's perfect performance. Seriously, its amazing

chinese divers perform the most amazong dives and yet throughout this video only failed dives are shown from chinese divers. good examples are only from people with the kind of skin color you like. nice channel.

Came here because of the 14 years old just won the Olympic 2020 with a perfect 10 score 👍

the chinese has been winning so many diving golds. but yet this channel only shows their mistake and mainly showing the western divers. so much for fair reporting here

In an alternate reality, there’s an olympic dive event where the divers try to make the BIGGEST splash

Chinese are by far the best divers 🇨🇳

Ask the chinese coaches. They can tell you lots

02:37 Yeesh she failed so hard she turned into an animation...

China just did a hat trick with Quan Hongchan. Why didn’t you guys show that. That was one for the history books
