Star of the future: Brittany Broben celebrates a surprise silver in London.
"I just wanted to do it, I really, really wanted to do it. I almost fell off the platform because my legs were so shaky, but I tried to disguise it a little," Broben said of her last dive.
"I saw my coach's face and I've dreamt about that moment, seeing his face after my dive. It just happened and I can't believe it."
Broben, a 16-year-old diver competing in her first Olympics, finished second at 366.50. She jumped up and down and ran to hug her coach after realizing she had earned a medal.
"Please don't pinch me because I never want to wake up. It's amazing," she said, wearing an Australia flag featuring a boxing kangaroo around her shoulders. "My coach was holding his breath on the last dive."
