The smiles come first. Sam Fricker and his diving partner turn towards the ends of adjacent springboards, face away from the water and lift their arms into position.

Then comes the matching arm swing, the bounce and a simultaneous backward take-off. They rotate together before entering the indoor pool headfirst, leaving two small splashes. There is no spoken explanation, just pop music accompanying the movement.

Titled simply "Sam Fricker diving", the Short had drawn more than thirteen times his usual first-day audience with a little time still to go. It follows the dryland practice we reported here, where the landing was on feet rather than in water.

The comments pick out the synchronisation, particularly how closely the pair move together. That matching starts before either diver leaves the board: their arms rise and swing in tandem, setting the rhythm for everything that follows.
