This morning Alexandre participated in the preliminary session of the Men’s 3m springboard event. After two very good dives, Alexandre had some difficulties with his third. Thankfully, he executed his other dives well and finished ninth overall. He will participate in the semi-finals tonight at 10:00 PM (10:00 AM Tuesday in Beijing).
Another Canadian was participating in the event. Reuben Ross had a great performance and also qualified for the semi-finals. He finished 13th. Reuben is taking part in his first Olympic Games.
