MADRID Jozy Altidore USA Jersey , July 28 (Xinhua) -- Orlando Duque has become one of the names of the 15th FINA Swimming World Championships in Barcelona and he has yet to compete in his event.
The 37-year-old Colombian is one of the favorites to take the gold medal when high-diving makes its belated entry into the competition and the nine-time World Champion who has twice been included in the Guinness Book of Records is much in demand, although he found time to speak to Xinhua about his delight at seeing his spectacular sport finally make it onto the big stage.
""It feels great, I've been in the sport for a long time and for it to be included in these World Championships, is a dream for all of us, it's something we have wanted for a long time Jorge Villafana USA Jersey , it makes it more official and it makes it more interesting for everybody,"" he said.
The High Diving at the 2012 World Championships will take place from a 27-meter tower constructed in the Port Vell in the heart of Barcelona. The quayside is expected to be packed with fans and Orlando expects them to all help contribute to a memorable occasion.
""It feels great when you are up on the top of the board and you see that many people around,"" he explained to Xinhua.
""It makes it that much more special when the people are supporting you, you want to do a good dive and put on a good show because they are taking the time out of their day to come and watch you and that helps you feel that more of a connection That's what I like about competing in places like the port, there is a lot of space for a lot of people Jordan Morris USA Jersey , so we're hoping everyone shows up, it's going to be a great competition,"" he predicted.
Diving from 27 meters not only multiplies the height of the 10 meter platform by almost three, it also multiplies the risk as the divers hit the water at speeds of around 85 kilometers an hour, meaning any mistake can take a diver straight to hospital. That is something to bear in mind during the three seconds between jumping into thin air and hitting the water 27 meters below John Brooks USA Jersey , although Orlando says there is no time to let your mind wander.
""It's a short time in the air, but you are only thinking about the dive,"" he explained.
""You have to make sure the dive is working well and you have to find your reference points, there is no time to think about anything else as it all happens very fast and even when the dive is over you are still thinking about what you did a few second afterwards.""
Hitting the water at high velocity does take its toll on the human body and most pool divers have ended their careers by their mid-20's. At 37, Orlando Joe Corona USA Jersey , however, proves that if you do things correctly, there is no need for a high-diver's career to be short.
""If you do it correctly you can last a long time, you have to train a lot and you have to do strengthening in order to handle the impact,"" he said Jesse Gonzalez USA Jersey , with a warning for anyone inspired to take up the sport.
""It does hurt even if you do good dives, but if you like the sport you have to pay a bit of it. We all know that and we understand what we need to do to walk away and be fine,"" he said.
