Hey all!  Well, it is Sunday over here in China.  Nancilea and I both are competing in women’s 3m finals tonight!  I am really looking forward to it and know we will both do well.  It has been amazing competing in the water cube.  First of all, the facility is so awesome!  At night, the entire place glows a deep blue and even changes color sometimes.  The other night it had Chinese letters glowing in red, and then it said “One World, One Dream”. 

I also love competing in the cube because the crowd is huge!  I have never seen so many people at a diving competition.  Diving is so big in China so they get a lot of support.  But I was impressed with how much support the USA has here.  As I marched out for my event I noticed all of the American flags waving in the air.  And when I’m standing on the board while they are announcing my name so many people are cheering.  That stuff really gets my adrenaline going and helps me dive better.  And knowing that all of you back home are supporting us is just as helpful.  So thank you for supporting Team USA!
