It's two of the favourites up next, Gary Hunt and Jonathan Paredes... Gary's execution of a reverse somersault is much better than his Seeding Round dive yesterday, but Paredes is able to match the Brit with a double somersault and one and a half twist. Both men have received 9s from the judges, and Jonathan is still in the lead...
