Canada hosted the second leg of the World Aquatics Diving World Cup this past weekend. The city of Windsor in Ontario hosted many of the best divers in the world as they aimed to qualify for the next competition in China. The World Aquatics Diving World Cup series features two “World Cup” events, culminating in a “World Cup Super Final,” which will take place in Beijing, China from May 2-4.
Just like in Guadalajara earlier this month, the Chinese team dominated on the women’s side of the meet. They once again claimed gold in each of the four women’s events and placed 1-2 in the individual events. The host nation earned a silver in the synchronized springboard event with newcomers Sonya Pakhivala and Amelie-Laura Jasmin. Australia, Great Britain and Mexico also earned medals for their nations on the women’s side.
The Chinese men were great in Canada, but still didn’t quite live up to their sky-high standards. The only non-Chinese gold medal of the meet came in the Men’s 3 Meter, where Jordan Houlden of Great Britain claimed the gold and Carson Tyler of the US earned silver. The highest placing 3 meter diver from China was bronze medalist Zheng Jiuyuan. The three remaining men’s events were all won by the Chinese. After lackluster performances on the men’s side from the last two Olympic Games, the American men impressed here as they claimed three total medals.
After also claiming victory in the team event, China’s 8 gold medals and 12 total medals has them firmly at the top of the medal table. Mexico, Great Britain, and the United States each came away with 3 medals a piece. The host country, Canada, improved from their performance on the first stop, winning 2 medals.
The World Cup Super Final will take place in Beijing from the 2-4 of May and will be a major stepping stone for these divers, who will all be looking to make their mark at the World Aquatics Championships in Singapore this summer.
