0:00 Speaker A: Popovich. Speaker A: What a noise. Speaker A: What a rib hat trick. Speaker A: Unreal. Speaker B: The 10 is the ultimate goal in diving. Speaker B: It's the perfect score. Speaker B: It's what represents the flawless execution of the element. Speaker C: It's just really trusting your training and everything. Speaker C: And then hopefully it happens.
0:32 Speaker D: A perfect 10, if we can call it perfect. Speaker D: It kind of makes me want to get out of my judge's chair and run around and pretend I'm with the crowd, because I want to give it a standing ovation. Speaker E: I've never achieved a 10, and it's definitely on my dream list and my goals, so definitely working hard to achieve the perfect dive.
0:58 Speaker F: I'm aiming for a perfect 10. Speaker F: Even if it's 1 10, 2 10, it's still a great dive. Speaker F: If it's a perfect 10, then you know that's the perfect dive. Speaker B: It's really hard to get, especially when the competition level is so fierce and the judging is tough. Speaker B: You know, they're very picky. Speaker B: There's a lot that can go wrong. Speaker B: So you got to have a perfect dive, and everybody shoots for the stars on that one.
1:24 Speaker D: The takeoff needs to be strong and bold and aggressive. Speaker D: And then it's all about the execution of the dive. Speaker D: Are the feet together in the twist, you know, is it looks smooth. Speaker D: And then, of course, the all important entry, and they've got to really get as vertical as they can and try to make no splash. Speaker D: So they put those three things together. Speaker D: Man, it's special. Speaker G: When you get that perfect takeoff and then you don't have to think about anything else and you just sort of stand up.
1:53 Speaker G: Yeah. Speaker G: You feel it go through the water. Speaker G: That's when you know,. Speaker A: Wow, look. Speaker A: Easy tens across the board by all five judges. Speaker H: You have to be feeling good and you have to have worked so hard. Speaker H: It doesn't just come out of nowhere. Speaker I: To do a perfect dive, to me, is to accomplish something and to feel good about the dive and feel good about it within myself.
2:20 Speaker H: 3, 10, 10, 9 And a half. Speaker J: I think a lot of divers are close to perfection, and a lot of divers have their own style. Speaker J: I really like to see Johnny and Costa Div too. Speaker K: Tennis. Speaker K: The magical number is the one that gives you confidence, that gives you all the power to go through the competition.
2:48 Speaker J: I think we could all find our 10 with our style. Speaker J: And this is one of the things that I like about cliff diving, because there is space for different styles. Speaker H: Everything has to happen at the right time. Speaker H: The stars have to align. Speaker H: It.
