Matthew Mitcham made diving history at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. At the Men's 10m platform, the Australian, who was in second place after 5 out of 6 dives, needed the highest score dive in diving history to beat Zhou Luxin of China - and he delivered!

  • Imagine being so close to winning an olympic until your competitor performs a perfect dive before your eyes
  • Note to the editor: the slow-mo at 1:36 is not from the winning dive...
  • Matthew was coached by Salvador "Chava" Sobrino, the best mexican diving specialist at that time and hired by Aussie team in the smartest move I've seen in this sport in a long time. I was watching mexican broadcast and even the commentators were so happy for Matthew and really enthusiastic for "Chava", they interviewed both almost crying!

    I wish the slow-mo replay after the record-setting dive was actually OF the record-setting dive!!

    Diving is so aesthetically-pleasing to watch! I really respect how hard these athletes had to work to master their sport. The discipline, the physical prowess, the agility, the strength, the grace, the ease in which they perform is commendable! They should all be very proud of themselves - proud, not arrogant; confident, not cocky! Well done, people!
  • The record has just been broken a few minutes ago, Chinise diver Yang Jian scored 112.75, got a total of 580 points but he still lost

    I watched this live on TV when it happened, and I could not believe it. I am Australian and I could not believe an Australian would be able to perform such a perfect dive on demand and win against all odds over the Chinese. I was shocked and ecstatic at the same time. Well done, you're immortal.
  • Sorry, but the highest scoring diver of all time has to be Neymar Jr.
  • Stunning. Tears of joy bless him. I don't know much about diving but the teeny tiny bit of ripple and the spinny stuff was 🔥🔥🔥
  • "No matter how good you are at something, there's always an Asian better than you" Matthew Mitcham: well, hold my little towel
  • @dvdv8197
    1:36 That wasn't a replay of that 1:28 dive lol. It's a shame, would've liked a replay of that one, which definitely looked much harder to accomplish!
  • "Would need the highest score in diving history"... no pressure then lol
  • @druidriley3163
    I saw that dive competition live on TV. I saw him beat the Chinese. It was neck and neck then he just ripped it. He was also adorable. SO cute. Hope he's somewhere happy and living his best life.
  • WOW his final jump 1:28 was so magical that it looked completely different in slow Motion 1:36. That is pure talent and well deserved
  • What an amazing humble athlete! His tears of happyness were all... Congrats Champion!!!!!! Love from Argentina
  • Glued to the screen. Could he do it. We know the answer. Pity the last slow mo of Mathew isn't the last dive he performed.
