On his silver medal, Andreas Larsen said: “There was a tough fight for gold on 1m springboard with Russian Nikita Nikolaev. He is my permanent opponent. Two days ago I was the winner. On 3m springboard I also wanted to do my best. I tried to calm down and to show my maximum level as I did on Thursday. Unfortunately, I couldn’t beat Chinese Zhu Han. As a consolation, I think his advantage was not overwhelming…”
Among girls, Russian Yulia Timoshinina (her mother and coach Svetlana Timoshinina is a three-time European champion), who recently won a senior European title in Berlin on synchro platform, surprisingly missed the final of the junior individual event, being 13th in the preliminary round. In the Girls A final, Australian Lara Tarvit picked up the gold medal, totalling 438.05 points. After her confident last dive, Lara got out of the pool with a pleased and sunny smile. Silver went to Alejandra Orozco (MEX) in 434.55, while Lian Jie from China took bronze (425.50).
