European junior
champion Desharne Bent-Ashmeil is looking to become an established part of
British Diving’s senior team.
The 2022 Commonwealth Games marked Desharne’s transition to
the senior world of diving, with fourth-place finishes in the 3m Women’s
Synchro, and Women’s Springboard individually, as well as in the Mixed 3m
Synchro – narrowly missing out on a podium spot by 2 points. Similarly, the
European Championships saw the teenager land fourth spot in the Women’s 3m
Synchro.
Having become gradually more established at senior-level,
the Dive London Aquatics Club athlete landed a fourth-place finish in the
Women’s 3m Springboard at the British National Diving Cup in 20022. She further
accompanied this with success in the Women’s 3m Synchro with Amy Rollinson of
Luton Diving Club, securing a first-place result at the British National Diving
Championships.
Amongst a glittering youth-career, Desharne made her first
appearance at the British Diving Championships in 2019 at just fourteen years
old, placing third in the Women’s 1m Springboard.
