Tania Cagnotto is world champion!

Tania Cagnotto has won gold at European Championships 17 times. To date, Giorgio Cagnotto's daughter has won precious metal seven times at world championships, but has never stood on the highest step of the podium. Til today. On Tuesday afternoon, the Bolzano native added another chapter of success to her unprecedented career. Because she is now world champion on the 1m board.

Cagnotto relegated the two Chinese women Shi Tingmao and He Zi to their places. With 310,85 points, which is Tania Cagnotto's second best personal performance on the 1m board, the 30-year-old had luck on her side this time. Because she prevailed in Kazan with a 1,65 point lead over Shi Tingmao (309,20). He Zi, the defending champion, collected 300,30 points.

Cagnotto showed a very strong competition and was in the lead from the start. After the fourth jump, the “Golden” was within reach. Although she made a little mistake on the last jump (the entry into the water wasn't quite perfect), it was still enough to win the world championship title.

It is a historic medal for Italy's divers. Because it is the first World Cup gold in 40 years and one day. Klaus Dibiasi last won the title on July 27, 1975, from the tower. Overall, it is the third gold medal at the World Championships for a diver from the Italian Swimming Federation FIN.
