Matt Mitcham's perfect 10s

Via Outsports:

Matthew Mitcham must feel like China is a home-pool advantage for him. First, he won the gold medal in the 10-meter men’s platform at the Beijing Olympics, coming from behind on the final dive. And Sunday he won the 10-meter event again at the FINA World Cup in Beijing. And he needed a perfect score to do it. Mitcham was fourth after the first two rounds, then pulled off what was described as a “flawless new dive – an armstand-back double with a two-and-a-half twist – that earned perfect 10s from the judges.” Like in 2008, Mitcham beat two Chinese divers for the top spot.
