Clare Cryan has this afternoon
finished in an impressive fifth place in the final of the 3M Springboard in
Rome.
Cryan, who took a break from the
sport from the beginning of last Summer to earlier this year, was appearing in
her second final this week at the 2022 European Aquatic Championships, having
finished eleventh in the 1M Springboard Final on Tuesday.
Following an excellent performance
this morning, where she progressed in sixth place, Cryan continued her good
form with a great start in her opening dive, scoring 58.50 points, a forward 2
½ somersault twist pike. The judges awarded 56.00 for the 28-year-old’s second
dive, and following a fantastic third dive, a reverse 2 ½ somersault pike,
Cryan scored 60.45 points, her highest score of the round.
Going into the final two dives in
third place, the Irish record holder in the event scored 44.80 points, followed
by a score of 48.60 in her fifth and final dive, giving her a total score of 268.35
to finish an excellent fifth place in the final. A total score and final
position that bettered this morning’s preliminary result.
Team Ireland will appear for the
final time this week as Ciara McGing and Tanya Watson complete in the Women’s
Synchronised Platform Final, which is set to start at 2:30pm (IRL).
