Intense British interest in the 10m synchro diving competition, which featured home divers @tomdaley1994 and @peterwaterfield, meant there was huge demand for the eventual bronze medal winner David Boudia (@davidboudia) when he appeared on the 1 for a 1 (1).
Boudia, the first American to break 600 points in six dives, also holds the US record for the most points on a single dive. But, he admitted, he still feels the pressure in getting it ?just right? as he dives off the equivalent of a three-storey building.
It takes ?a lot of practice?..Now I just count 1, 2, 3 GO?, he told a questioner, adding: ?At first it is very scary but I no my partner 1 is a very strong athlete & it makes it easier 2 know he is good.?
Boudia revealed how much he?s enjoying life in the Athletes? Village: ?1,? he said.
Boudia found his bronze medal sparked some interest in his personal life as he tackled questions ranging from how he prepares for competition to his marital status.
?Are you single,? demanded fan @_shelbywilson
Boudia revealed he is engaged and will, happily, be married come October when the dust has settled from London 2012.
