Clare Cryan had an impressive performance in the preliminaries of the Women’s 3M Springboard this morning, progressing comfortably to this evening’s final in fourth place.

Cryan was relaxed and composed throughout her five dives, never going below the top four throughout to score 288.45 points.

The 29-year-old opened the competition with her hardest dive, a forward 2 ½ somersaults, 1 twist and scored her highest points with 63. Further scores of 56, 62, 60.2 and 47.25 saw her ease into the 6pm (IRE) Final.

Speaking after the event Cryan said ‘I’m very happy and relieved, it was a nice competition, I know I can be in there, but it’s always doing the job in the morning, you could see some of the other dives were all over the place, so it was nice to be plain, steady and doing the job.’ She continued  ‘The past few weeks of training my dives have been great, there was a couple of days here in Poland that I was a bit nervy on some of the hurdle steps but as the week’s gone on I’ve got more comfortable and found the rhythm on the boards so I was feeling confident this morning.’
