Rostock (LEN) – Matthieu Rosset claimed his second top podium result at the Arena European Diving Championships in Rostock on Wednesday. Only 24 hours after his success in the non-Olympic 1m springboard event, the French diver took the gold medal in the 3m springboard, collecting a total of 476.70 points. Thanks to this victory Rosset also earned a quota place for France at the 2016 Olympic Summer Games in Rio de Janeiro.
Russia’s Evgeny Kuznetsov (467.60 points) and Ilya Zakharov (451.85) claimed the silver and bronze medal, respectively. Both were greatly disappointed. Defending champion Patrick Hausding of Germany “only” earned a fifth-place result, collecting 432.45 points. “Going into the last dive I knew I had to perform a perfect one. This is why I was a bit nervous,” a very happy Rosset explained. At the same time, his gold medal is the 25th medal in diving for France at European Championships since 1926.Adidas shoes | Nike Dunk Low Coast UNCL - Grailify
