The Americans followed China on all of their dives, seeing their performance and knowing what they had to do to match it. They also performed the same five dives as China. “The Chinese have been the gold standard in diving for decades,” Cook said. “But we are peers with them, and the goal is to beat them one day. They are amazing competitors and hardly ever mess up.“We’re not too far off,” Cook added. “You may see another flag being raised for a gold medalist at these Olympic games.”Cook and Bacon noted that, as the favorites, the pressure is always on China. Less so on everyone else.
