Hi Chris

I will admit ignorance to the selection system for the Olympic games, but I do find it rather odd that the individuals who win the place have won it for their country and not themselves.

But I can see the logic in picking those who are most likely to win a medal in Beijing so whoever's on form nearer the time would be the best divers for the job. However, I would hope that the athletes who won the place get to go to Beijing.

I love diving so will cheer on whoever gets to go!

I hope the young Mr. D earns a place at Beijing by right and am hopeful he will - but, whether he does or not, he definitely deserves to get to go to the Youth Olympic Games in Singapore in 2010.

Alexandre Despatie clones - great when young, average when old.
