Fung, Miller claim bronze in 10-metre World Cup diving in Montreal
MONTREAL — Katelyn Fung and Kate Miller claimed their first international podium finish as a team in the synchronized 10-metre event at the Montreal Diving World Cup on Saturday.
The two Ontario athletes earned their best scores on their final two of five dives (69.12 and 73.92 points). Their total of 296.94 points placed them just ahead of the Australians (293.22), who were provisionally second with one dive remaining.
The gold medal went to Lu Wei and Zhang Minjie of China (349.98), while the silver was awarded to Jo Jin Mi and Kim Mi Hwa of North Korea (304.92).
“It’s really amazing, and such a great reward. It shows how hard we’ve worked in training. We don’t live in the same place, but (Miller) comes here to train, so we take advantage of that to prepare ourselves well,” said Fung, who hails from London but trains at the National Centre in Montreal.
