diving – not a pretty face

The Telegraph has a series of photos featuring the faces of divers, mid-flight.

At the same time you can check form and body position, not nearly as good as it looks at normal speed.

Thanks Steve Long.

I think the faces tell you how fast and intense what they’re doing is. Pretty amazing!

Unfortunately, just like gymnastics diving is sacrificing much of the perfect form for higher difficulty dives. Form such as seen would be unthinkable 20 years ago.
