Diving Olympian at Thirteen
DEAN: Thomas Daley is Britain's diving prodigy and he's qualified for the Olympics. He's only thirteen years old and looks likely to be the youngest male to represent the country. Daley is assured a starting role in the Games this August by finishing seventh in the individual event of the Diving World Cup. As qualifying rested on his final dive Daley says he was very nervous. [Thomas Daley, British Diver]: "Going up there I was really nervous, going into the last dive. It was either make or break time really, I could either make it or I couldn't and it was, I was so nervous stood there for that dive it was the thing that I got four 10's on it, it's just absolutely phenomenal." His Olympic gold hopes are focused on the London 2012 Olympics when he believes he will be at the peak of his form. Next, we have soccer action in Hawaii as Brazilian striker Bare scored four goals as Gamba Osaka clinched the Pan Pacific Championship title over Major League Soccer's Houston Dynamo in convincing fashion 6 to 1. In other action, MLS' Los Angeles Galaxy clinched third place with a 2 to 1 victory over Sydney FC. David Beckham had a hand in both of Galaxy's goals. With three minutes gone, the England midfielder's long cross was met by Ely Allen, who scored with a crisp left-foot volley. Beckham provided the spark for what would be the Galaxy's winner just before halftime. As the low cross was fumbled by Sydney goalkeeper Ivan Necevski, Josh Tudela was on hand to turn the ball into the net. [David Beckham, Los Angeles Galaxy]: "It is always nice to have assists and tonight I was lucky enough to get two and we ended up winning 2-1. So that was a good night for us, good night for the team, because especially after the last game, we didn't start off well in the last game we started off well today it was important to start off well and we did."
