Bronze Medal for Synchro Divers

by Curtis Yano 31. May 2009 20:53

MADRID – Mandy Moran of Thunder Bay, Ont., and Hailey Casper of Calgary won the bronze medal Sunday in the women’s three-metre synchro event to conclude the sixth stop on the FINA Grand Prix diving circuit.

Lin Qu and Qulin Zheng of China won the gold medal with 312.60 points. Tania Cagnotto and Francesca Dallape of Italy were second at 300.90 followed by Moran and Casper at 270.27. It is a first career Grand Prix medal for both divers.

It was only the second time that Moran and Casper, both based at Dive Calgary, dove together in the three-metre synchro event.

"It went really well", said Moran, 28, fourth on individual three-metre on Saturday. "Our synchronization was on but our individual dives could have been better. It’s great to get the medal. We have both been competing recently at different venues so we didn’t have the opportunity to train as much as we would have like for this event." More
