Question

Are you all devastated the little diver didn't win a medal?

Answer 1

not really he will be back to try again and what a wonderful experience he has had at 14

Answer 2

Devastated?

There's that very over-used word again, and often said about the wrong thing - as here.

But to answer your question, no.

Answer 3

No, not at all.  In fact it's probably a good thing.

Just look around at all the people who have become successful in their teens and look at the state they get into in one way or another.  Maybe because they have reached their peak and have nothing left to work towards.

This young boy still has his dreams and ambitions and I hope he finds success - when he is old enough to handle it.  

Answer 4

Errrrr.....no! Even the "little diver" himself stated that he had no expectation of a medal and was only there to gain experience.

Answer 5

not really no.

Answer 6

no cos if he did thatd be his career full stop hes gotta get better thatll make it more fun improving :)

Answer 7

He'll live.

Answer 8

Not really.  It's not like he's coming to the end of his career or anything

Love it, Tiger Tiger.

Answer 9

Could have been worse, he could have drowned..

Answer 10

Of course not. He's only 14, he said he had fun, he's had the experience of a lifetime before he's left school and he'll be back in 2012, still just 18.

Answer 11

To come 8th at such a tender age is fantastic!

Answer 12

was Ronaldo at the olympics ?

Answer 13

well they both dived with about 10 seconds difference between them so am not surprised.  In comparison to others they were rubbish.  

Answer 14

No way, there are far worse things to be devastated about to be worried about a young diver who did'nt get us a medal, anyway he's still young enough to try again in 4 years time when he'll be 18 and will probably be good enough to win one then

Answer 15

Devastated is not an over reaction is it?

Answer 16

his dad said he had no chance of winning unless the other divers slipped off the diving board and landed on the tiles. and that hes just there to get experience ready for london 2012 but if the russians win ww3 h**l be diving in moscow for the soviets

Answer 17

Not really. He is young & can try again another year.

He has other events still to compete in too so he may win a medal yet.

Answer 18

No I am devastated over 3 million Chinese people were forcibly evicted from their homes with zero compensation to make way for this farce.

Answer 19

He's got the 10m platform to come, on Friday I think, although he's there for the experience really, so no I won't be devastated if he doesn't win a medal.

Answer 20

No because i don't know who the little diver is.
