British Junior medalists head to Eight Nations

6 Mar 2018

A team of British divers will be taking part in the Eight Nations Youth Diving Meet in Kristiansand, Norway later this month.

The squad features the Junior 3m Champion and 1m silver medallist Anthony Harding, 1m Junior Champion Oliver Crompton and 3m Junior silver medallist Maria Papworth, who will all be in competition from 17 – 18 March.

 Team Manager Julian Bellan, said: “We have some exciting young talent coming through the programme at the moment and competitions like this will allow them to develop their skills at international level.

 “Anthony Harding is definitely one to watch as a final year junior building towards the World Championships in Kiev this summer.

 “He has shown a significant improvement and the 8 Nations will be an opportunity for him to test his new higher difficulty diving programme. He was a finalist at the Singapore Diving Grand Prix in November and a double silver medalist in the 7 Nations so will be aiming to improve the individual results this year.”
