Tania Cagnotto narrowly missed out on her 8th World Championship medal

Tania Cagnotto was denied another medal win on Saturday when jumping from the 3m board. The 28-year-old South Tyrolean lacked the necessary liveliness and dynamism, especially at the beginning of the final. Only with the fourth jump, a two and a half somersault backwards, did she approach the podium. Although the final jump was completed cleanly, in the end it wasn't enough for bronze. In fourth place, she was just 4,75 points behind third-place Pamela Ware from Canada. It would have been her eighth medal at the World Championships.

"I'm absolutely satisfied with the result. I'm missing the necessary training sessions from the 3m board, and that has become noticeable. For me, a memorable World Cup, the best of my career, is now over. I'm looking forward to the holiday." , explained the woman from Bolzano after jumping. She won the silver medal in synchronized diving with Francesca Dallapè and in the individual 1m board.

There she only had to admit defeat to the Chinese He Zi, who clearly set the tone today and won her second gold medal with 383 points. Silver went to her compatriot Wang Han (40). The second Italian, Maria Marconi, was on course for a medal for a long time, but in the end she had to settle for sixth place (356,25).
