Ireland's Clare Cryan finishes fifth in European diving final

Cryan improved on her semi-final placing in an impressive performance.

IRELAN’S CLARE CRYAN finished fifth in the women’s 3m springboard final at the European Acquatics Championships in Rome today. 

Cryan qualified for the final with a sixth-placed finish in the preliminary round, and went one better in a final won by hometown favourite Chiara Pellacani. 

Cryan’s five dives combined for a total score of 268.35, which was 50.40 from gold medalists Pellacani. Michelle Heimberg of Switzerland finished second, with Yarsmin Harper of Great Britain winning bronze. 

She finished eleventh in the 1M Springboard on Tuesday. 

Elsewhere, Tanya Watson and Ciara McGing will compete in the women’s synchronised final tomorrow, from 2.30pm Irish time. 

Meanwhile, at the European Championships in Munich, Patrick O’Leary and Jenny Egan-Simmons both missed out on their respective canoeing finals today.

O’Leary finished fourth in the semi-final of the men’s VL3 200m, with just the top three progressing. Egan-Simmons was ninth in the semi-final of the women’s K1 500m, but her focus now switches to her main event tomorrow: the final of the K1 5000m.

    Poor Joey’s football career is in steady decline due to his quick thumbs and quick tongue. He thinks he’s smarter than everyone yet he can’t see what’s happening.

    He’s becoming more of a rent-a-rant than Eamon Dunphy, and he’s twice as bitter. Not looking forward to when he goes into punditry.

    Dunphy is entertaining, Joseph Barton is not.

    How he is still in football is beyond me. Nothing but a thuggish mouthpiece.

    Far from me to ask whats this idiot doing on this fantastic on line newspaper, There is better stories like the Donegal people walking to Dublin to protest about the cuts to all services and the banks.
