Lu, a 3 time national medallist and 2017 Pan Am Junior Championship medallist, added two more medals to her collection with a silver in the Girls C 1 metre and bronze in the Girls C 3 metre event. She narrowly missed out on a 3rd medal placing 4th in the platform event. Renee Batalla won her first national medal in the platform event, missing gold by 2 points. But her second place finish earned her a place on the Canadian National Team competing in Santiago, Chile at the 2019 Pan Am Junior Championships in August.
Hattie Narrowly Misses Podium in Bolzano
06.16.19, Bolzano, ITA - One costly mistake may have left Bryden Hattie of Victoria off the podium on Sunday as he placed fourth on men’s 10-m tower to conclude the fifth stop on the FINA Grand Prix diving circuit.
China was 1-2 with Song Yuan first with 387.30 points and Ling Yang second at 384.20. Riccardo Giovannini of Italy took the bronze with 367.40 followed by Hattie at 352.15.
‘’I managed to do all my dives really well except one,’’ said Hattie. ‘’My inward three and a half gave me trouble and if I had done it as well as I usually can, I think I could have won a medal. It was a great learning experience.’’
