The truth of diving as per Shel Silverstein
Lee first dreamt of the Olympics at age 12, after his father told him about the games. That same year, he discovered diving at a public swimming pool and knew immediately that it was his sport.    "Walking up the 10-m platform, I thought to myself, I’ve waited 16 years for this moment. Am I going to blow it? So I prayed to God that I was most deserving of winning the Games. And in case he was busy, I also prayed to Buddha and Confucius." \\ In training @ Empire Pool Olympic Games, Olympic Diving, Asian American, London, Team Usa, Summer Dream
