Diving team leader Kim White accepts that all eyes will be on youngster Thomas Daley at the Australian Youth Olympic Festival but is keen to point out there are other potential medal winners in his team.
The 12-year-old Daley is the wonder boy of British diving having come second in the national trials for two years running and was granted special dispensation by the AOC to compete at the AYOF in Sydney.
The minimum age in diving at the AYOF is 14 and Daley will become the youngest athlete ever to compete in the bi-annual event.
"Thomas is the one that everyone's the most interested in because he's only 12, he's cute and he's an awesome diver," said White.
"He's the one that's going to be the most exciting for everybody, without a doubt, but you can't tell what he'll do here.
"He could dive like he did in Manchester in December, when he got second in the World Championship trials. But the two Chinese are pretty hot, they're world champions."
The Chinese are the ones to beat, with Australia, Germany, Malaysia and USA completing the six-team line-up, but White is confident of medalling in the synchro events as teams can only enter one pair - as opposed to two divers in the individual events.
Leon Taylor and Peter Waterfield claimed silver in Athens in the men's 10m synchro but were unable to go for gold at the Commonwealth Games last March as Taylor was injured.
That meant Callum Johnstone and Gary Hunt led English hopes in the men's 10m synchro and they came third in a four-team final.
Johnstone (16) is one of the seven-strong squad in Sydney and will be competing in each of the four men's events.
Like team-mate Charles Calvert, Johnstone was converted to diving from gymnastics by Adrian Hinchliffe, one of the team's coaches in Sydney and also City of Leeds development officer.
"Adrian went to help out in one of his local gymnastics clubs in Leeds and said why don't you come and try diving," explained White.
"They were both gymnasts so they found it very easy to pick up things. They already knew how to stretch and were supple, and more importantly, they were disciplined."
A silver-medalist in the 10m platform at the junior European Championships, White describes Johnstone as "one of our most exciting divers".
He also has high hopes for Jodie McGroarty (17) after she won bronze in the 3m synchro at the junior World Championships last September.
At the national trials last month, she qualified for the senior World Championships in Melbourne in March, which was a huge relief for White.
"Five years ago, her mother phoned from Zimbabwe and said they were coming to England, could I arrange for her to dive with a good coach, which I did," said White.
"She got better but not as much as we'd hoped, so around eight months ago I persuaded her parents to relocate from London to Sheffield to train with our national coach, Wen Chen.
"Since then she's gone from strength to strength, but we have to set certain targets to stay on lottery funding and hers at the trials was to be in the top three, which was tough.
"She did better - she came second - and that was good because taking her off lottery funding would have looked pretty bad after I persuaded her parents to move up there!"
The AYOF Diving competition begins on Friday 19th January.
