Hi everyone!

I am back from vacation! It was really nice to have a break after returning from Beijing. Thank you again for all the good wishes, the encouragement and the words of congratulation you sent me during the Games. I really appreciate it!

As of today I am back training with Arturo and Cesar. I am excited to start diving again. The Beijing Games are behind me, and I have to concentrate on upcoming competitions.

Also, Diving Canada announced today that Michel Larouche, my previous coach, has been nominated as their chief coach. Michel is one of the best diving coaches in the world, so this appointment is good news for our sport because he’ll be making all of his expertise and his vision available to elite coaches in Canada. The management of Diving Canada could not have selected a better person for this position.

The good news for me is that, with his new responsibilities, Michel will be very involved in my preparations with Arturo and Cesar (Henderson). I’m very happy as well because Michel’s point of view has always been a decisive and necessary part of my development. If I am the diver I am today, it is due in large part to Michel.

Talk to you soon!

Alex
