Jennifer Abel delivered the performance of her season, winning 3m springboard gold on Sunday with a lifetime best score.

The 23-year-old pulled away from the competition on her third dive, one that had beat her up all season. On Sunday she hammered it. Her score of 86.20 points was almost five points better than she’d performed the forward pike (5154B) all season. “I was telling myself no matter what you have to nail the entry, so that’s what I went for,” said Abel.

It was 1-2 on the springboard for Canada as Montreal’s Pamela Ware finished in the silver medal spot, turning in a consistent performance with 326.00 points.
