The Brits are still searching for that first gold medal of the games, and the partisan crowd at the Aquatic Center is trying to will their boys to one in the men's synchronized 10-meter dive.

Thomas Daley and Peter Waterfield are putting on quite a show, too.

The arena roars every time the step out on to the platform, and they have responded with three tremendous dives to surge into the lead at the halfway point.

They're in the seventh position of eight, and just ripped a pair of back 3 1/2 somersault tucks that scored 91.08.

They are just in front of China and the Germany with three dives to go.
