Diving – MADRID – François Imbeau-Dulac of St-Lazare, Que., and Peter Thach Mai of Montreal won the gold medal on men’s three-metre synchro and Olivia Chamandy of Montreal added a bronze on women’s 10-m tower on Sunday to conclude the fourth stop on the FINA Grand Prix diving circuit.

Imbeau-Dulac and Mai received two 9.0’s on their opening dive and never looked back to win the gold with 388.59 points. Hector Garcia Boissier and Nicolas Garcia Boissier of Spain were second at 384.72 and Guillaume Dutoit and Simon Rieckhoff of Switzerland third at 369.90.

‘’We were very consistent and didn’t make any big mistakes,’’ said Imbeau-Dulac, 26, a silver medallist Saturday on individual three-metre. ‘’It was great for Peter especially who showed he has the ability to be a great synchro diver in the future.’’

The pair started training together three weeks ago for this competition.

‘’We had to work a lot on our synchronisation plus I needed to learn a new hurdle,’’ said Thach Mai, 18. ‘’But we came through with some good scores today so I’m really excited about that.’’

On women’s 10-m, Jiaqi Zhang led China to a 1-2 finish with 382.75 followed by Minjie Zhang at 355.70 and the 16-year-old Chamandy at 325.55. Celina Toth of St. Thomas, Ont., was fourth at 319.25.

‘’I wasn’t really expecting the medal,’’ said Chamandy, in her first career Grand Prix final. ‘’My practices weren’t going well recently at home but picked up once I got here. So I was pretty nervous but I was able to handle it.’’

Chamandy’s coach Aaron Dziver was impressed with his pupil’s composure.

‘’She struggled with her armstand dive but she fought it and completed the dive successfully,’’ he said. ‘’That an example that demonstrates her capacity to will herself to the performance that is required.’’

Toth was in a battle of her own after injuring her arm on Saturday.

‘’I’m pretty excited about the performance today,’’ she said. ‘’This is probably the most consistent I’ve been through a prelim, semi and final this year. The arm injury made my entries a bit more difficult but I got through it and ended up doing a good job.’’

Next weekend at the Summer Nationals, Toth and Chamandy will battle for the second and last spot on women’s tower for the world championship team.

Canada ends the competition with five medals – three gold, a silver and a bronze.
