August 11, 2008: The diving events have started

By the Website Team

Here we go! The diving events started yesterday in Beijing. From now on, the Chinese divers are alone on the first step of the podium with two gold medals in two events: Women’s 3m synchronised diving and Men’s 10m synchronised diving.

It’s tomorrow that the events start for our Canadians divers! The two Canadians Roseline Filion and Meaghan Benfeito will take part in the 10m synchronised diving event. The competition starts at 2:30 AM in Montreal and 2:30 PM in Beijing.

Alexandre will participate in his first competition this Wednesday (2:30 AM in Montreal and 2:30 PM in Beijing). He will participate in the Men’s 3m synchronised diving event with his partner Arturo Miranda. He has not participated in any competition since his injury and he is impatient to get back to diving.

Tomorrow, we will meet Boun Prasith at the airport just before his departure for Beijing. You will be able to watch that interview on the site.

Talk to you soon!
