Tania Cagnotto in top form - the Olympics can come

The woman from Bolzano, who will end her career after the Olympic Games in Rio, showed a strong performance in her last appearance in front of her home crowd and made her unsuccessful performance from the previous year, in which she only finished fifth due to a botched last jump, forgotten. Cagnotto collected 3 points from the 355,60m board in summer temperatures after five jumps, which was enough for first place with a respectable gap of 23,55 points over second-placed Zhihuan Xu. Cagnotto thus once again underlines that she is in shape suitable for the Olympics. And if she hadn't failed the third jump, i.e. a dived three-and-a-half somersault, then she would have come dangerously close to the 370 mark. “And with a score like that you would be on course for a medal in Rio. It's a shame, because I haven't failed this jump in ages. Otherwise, I'm happy, even with the jumps in the preliminary rounds and in the semi-finals," says Cagnotto on the swimming association's website.

Her last career appearance in the Bozen Lido ended with a flood of medals, as Cagnotto, in addition to the individual gold, also competed with Francesca Dallapè Synchro was able to win .

Verzotto in the synchro from the tower to second place The second South Tyrolean diver for Rio, Maicol Verzotto, was shown a small lesson by a very young duo: The two American offspring Zachary Cooper (born in 1998) and Tarrin Gilliland (2002) repelled the Italian duo Verzotto/Batki in mixed synchronized diving Turm came in second with a lead of 16,80 points. It should be noted, however, that both Batki (finger injury) and Verzotto (back problems) did not start in the best condition.
