Great Britain’s diver Tonia Couch thinks she can complete podium finish at the world championships and next year’s Olympics
after her recent successful diving World Series. The 26-year-old won bronze at
the most recent World Series in Mexico in the category of 10m platform after
giving six consistent performances to secure
the overall title. The individual competition of the Plymouth diver at
the World Aquatics Championships in Russia later this summer must be finished in
top 12 to qualify for the 2016 Olympics.
She said her recent success has boosted her
confidence. Couch said she worked hard in the World series and her six attempts
turned out really well. She noted it is satisfactory but not over yet because
world championships is coming after six weeks. Couch admitted she wants a medal
but it is a tough competition but her experience will help her because it will
be her third Olympics next year.
Couch and Sarah Barrow also won three medals
including a silver in Canada in synchronized diving throughout the World Series
but the pair must be in the top three at the world championships to qualify for
Rio. Couch admitted she saw many ups and downs throughout her career but won
her first contest after just six weeks of diving which was a great achievement
at such a young age. She further said you should keep on working hard and the
results come your way.
