Today we had an opportunity to go to the Pan Am games. We had purchased tickets to see diving. We weren't too sure what to expect. The event that we went to see was the 10 Meter diving. It was amazing. There were 8 competitors. It was only the one event and was finished in an hour. We were disappointed that there wasn't more, but we were thrilled that we could witness this event. It was amazing. At the end of this preliminary round, Canada was in first and fourth place. They did awesome!
It was fun to see the divers arrive. They were so excited to be cheered on by the crowd.
There was 5 sets of dives that took place. Each girl performed dives of varying levels of difficulty. There was so many twists and turns. It was amazing at how athletic these competitors were. I never realized how much gymnastics went into diving. Unbelievable!!
One diver missed her rotation and almost did a "back flop". It was frightening to see her go down. She was so brave and climbed right back up and her next dive was incredible.
