Australian Olympic champion diver hits out at Brit who can't have his 'cake and eat it too'.

Olympic champion Matthew Mitcham has accused British diving rival Tom Daley of wanting to have his cake and eat it by trying to reduce the burden of expectation while serving as a "poster boy" for the London Games.

As the only non-Chinese to win a diving gold at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Australian Mitcham has a fair amount of pressure on him as well this year but he told reporters at a World Cup event at the Aquatics Center in London that he had learnt to live with it.
