Divers from five nations earned gold medals in the second leg of the FINA Diving Grand Prix, held from July 2-4, 2021 in Bolzano (ITA). It was the first physically attended event of the season, after a virtual leg organised by Canada in the end of May.
In the men’s competition, the hosts
were the best in both 3m and 10m synchro events, with Giovanni Tocci and
Lorenzo Marsaglia prevailing in the springboard and Andreas Larsen/Eduard
Timbretti Gugiu dominating operations on the higher board.
Individually, Alberto Arevalo Alcon,
from Spain, appeared inspired in the 3m springboard, concluding first in
407.90. In the platform, Brazil’s Isaac Souza got the gold in 377.50. The minor
medals in these events were to Ukraine and Germany in the 3m and to Italy,
second and third in the 10m.
Among women, the host nation also
reigned in the 3m synchro (thanks to a well-succeeded performance by Elena
Bertocchi/Chiara Pellacani), while Netherlands and Brazil shared the honours in
the individual events. In the 3m springboard, Inge Jansen (NED, 292.90) beat
experienced Bertocchi (who had to content with silver in 275.65), while in the
platform Ingrid Oliveira beat her main challengers for a victory in 305.90.
Finally, the Swiss duet composed by
Guillaume Dutoit and Madeline Coquoz earned the last gold medal at stake, in
the mixed 3m springboard synchro, with a final result of 245.88.
France and Norway complete the list
of countries with medals at FINA Diving Grand Prix in Bolzano (ITA).
