2010 World Masters Championships Blog - Part: 6

Hej everybody!!

Just at the end of our final day (Fredag) and we managed to finish on a high with Dave securing second place and a silver medal on the platform. Again his forward 2 and a half was his best dive of the event scoring highly from every judge. Dave would like to take this opportunity to thank everybody for their support and of course a special thank you to Ricardo for all his hard work in getting Dave ready for the competition. Muchas gracias mi amigo. Thanks also to Maeve for putting up with us boys for the week and for the vital tips before the competition.

Oleg (Ricardo's high-diving friend) stole the show today by bringing a bit of entertainment with his flying forward somersault from 10m while holding the Swedish flag, which went down well with the judges and the crowd!!

Some spectacular dives were on display throughout the day and Dave's handstand 2 somersaults was in among them with a great entry earning a big applause from the crowd. All in all a very successful trip with Dublin Diving Club raising the bar yet again!! Irish diving is clearly in safe hands with Dublin Diving Club and Ricardo at the helm.
