Diving: World Championships; synchro 3 meters, Bertocchi-Pellacani eighths – Swimming

Elena Bertocchi and Chiara Pellacani step down from the world podium, without losing ambition and confidence in view of the Paris Olympics for which they have qualified since last July. At the World Championships in Doha in the three-metre synchronized diving, the Italian pair, not having one of their best days, finished eighth with 260.28 points in the final which opened the afternoon of the sixth day at the Hamad Aquatic Center.


Immediately chasing the test of the Italians – world bronze in Fukuoka 2023 and reigning European vice champions – already behind after the compulsory ones, which as always did not come due to less than optimal synchronization.


The Chinese Chang Yeni and Chen Yani win, confirming themselves as world champions despite not dominating, with 323.43 points; silver to the Australians Maddison Keeney and Anabelle Smith, absolutely to be feared at the Olympics, with 300.45 and bronze to the British Yasmin Harper and Scarlett Mew Jensen with 281.70.


At 4.30pm the final from the three-metre springboard with Lorenzo Marsaglia among the protagonists, after having passed the semi-final with the twelfth score. The 27-year-old Roman will present the morning routine, with the quadruple somersault and half forward grouped (3.9) instead of the double somersault and half back pike (3.0).
