Canada’s divers finished its World Series stop in Dubai with five medals
Canada’s divers finished its World Series stop in Dubai with five medals after picking up a silver on the third day in the mixed 10m synchro.
Meaghan Benfeito and Vincent Riendeau finished as they had a week earlier in the World Series opener in Beijing, second to the Chinese competitors Lian Jie and Tai Xiaohu. The Canadians’ score of 335.58 was an improvement from a week ago, but still behind China’s new season’s best of 363.12. Alejandra Orozco and Jahir Ocampo of Mexico were third with 314.10.
Canada leaves Dubai with four silver and a bronze medal. Jennifer Abel, who found the podium three times, won Canada’s only individual medal over the weekend, a bronze in the 3m springboard.
The next World Series stop is in Kazan, Russia from April 24 to 26.
