I went to see the men's 3m springboard diving semifinal this morning. It was mint. Our man Chris Mears scraped through to tonight's final, ending on an absolute belter of a dive which caused most Brits there to involuntarily jump out of there seats and cheer loudly. It was a good time.
The Aquatics Centre by the way looks like it's been bum-raped by Wenlock and Mandeville. It's ruined by its olympic regalia and the seating, while necessary, is laughably cumbersome. However, it will surely look delicious once it's been unraped and gently made love to as per the original design. I don't like most of their buildings but hats off to Hadid and the gang... the tongue-like, whale-like roof is fucking orgasmic.
