It looks cool, but does anybody know why divers now wear body suits as well?

Diving

Diving will be one of the most spectacular events of Manchester 2002. Taking place in the brand new, futuristic Manchester Aquatics Centre, spectators will be able to see the top divers in the Commonwealth battling for gold.

Whether the divers are leaping from a height of one metre or ten, one thing guaranteed is the gymnastic grace of the competitors as they push the boundaries of the possible in the quest for a medal.

The diving events are scheduled to take place over the first three days of the games beginning with the men and womenıs one metre springboard on the first morning of competition with finals scheduled for every evening. So if you want to see records smashed, book a date in your diary now.

Watch out for Alexandre Despatie from Canada.

Swimming

Tobias Oriwol hopes the Commonwealth Games will be his coming-out party.

The 16-year-old from Toronto is the youngest swimmer on a Canadian team that is expected to win the bulk of Canada's medals at the Games in Manchester, England, July 25 to Aug. 4.

"I definitely want to get on the medal podium," said Oriwol. "Of course the Australians, the Brits and the South Africans are going to be very tough to beat. But Canada has a great history of doing well at these Games.

"We put a lot of importance on it and I think everyone on the Canadian team is fired up to do well and get as close to if not beating everybody else."

The gangly Oriwol, who turns 17 in May, is one of Canada's up-and-coming talents that national coach Dave Johnson singled out before the Commonwealth Games trials in March as a swimmer who could reach a new level in Manchester.
