For the sadistically inclined one of the funniest moments in 99 years of modern Olympiad had to be when Greg Luganis belted his head off one of the boards at the 1988 Olympics in Seoul. Of course Luganis had the last laugh when a shiny medal was placed over his bleeding head, but it was still very funny.
The bronzed American would look like a fish out of water if he came to
Scotland where diving is very much a f minority sport. Once upon a time there
were plenty of outdoor pools in
Scotland where hardy chaps would
risk their wedding tackle for the sake of a one and half turn with pike. Sadly that’s all in the past and Scotland had no divers at the 1994 Commonwealth
Games. There are now only three j diving clubs in Scotland, with

Always find a deep pool
sport isn’t as easy as it seems.
‘lt’s not a sport like football where you have the ball and know what to do with it. In diving there’s quite a steep learning curve before you can start to
approach it with confidence. Really
only people who have a background in trampolining and gymnastics understand the amount of work that goes into it.’
‘lt’s all about strength, balance and
5 timing,’ continues Taylor. ‘The most
important factors are natural ability
and determination. Those who have
natural ability progress fastest, but
L after that determination is the key.
Diving isn’t a dangerous sport but courage is vital because the more you
attack the dive the less likely it is that
you will hurt yourself. The trick is not to hesitate but to just go for it.’ (Philip
Dorward) ; Diving Championships Royal ‘ Commonwealth Pool, Dalkeifh Road,
