    Enjoy watching two time Olympian Diver for Team China and now Olympic Diving Coach for Team USA Hongping Li give you some tips and tricks to improve your back dive tuck position. There are three very important elements of the back dive tuck: The Take Off followed by the Tuck position and then the straight position to the water. Practice the backdrop tuck first on Dry Land, then move into the water and focus on keeping a straight body line during the Take Off. During the tuck position, always try to keep your eyes on your toes. Remember and exercise all of these three elements and you will enjoy this dive so much!

    A man has died after being mauled by a shark at a netted beach in Australia.

    The swimmer, believed to be in his 50s, was bitten on the leg just off Greenmount Beach in Coolangatta.

    The attack happened just after 5pm local time and the man died shortly after. Queensland Ambulance Service attended the scene.

    Beaches both north and south of Greenmount Beach were immediately closed after the attack. Beaches further out on the Gold Coast are expected to stay closed on Wednesday.

    Witnesses told local broadcaster 9News that bystanders and lifeguards rushed into the water to try and help the man, but he succumbed to his injuries later.
