LAUSANNE, Switzerland, August 31. THE world will be introduced to some of the next generation of diving greats at the 18th edition of the FINA World Junior Diving Championships, taking place from September 1-6, 2010, in Tucson, Ari. (USA).
Some 180 divers, with a slightly higher number of female competitors, coming from 29 countries, will either make their debut or re-affirm their place among the world's best on the boards of the Hillenbrand Aquatic Center – Kasser Family Pool, University of Arizona.
Boys and girls compete in both "A" (born 1990/1991/1992) and "B" (born 1993/1994) age groups. This competition, organized in even years, comprises 14 events: 1m, 3m springboard and 10m platform for A and B as well as a 3m springboard synchro event mixing A and B.
In the last edition in Aachen (GER), China blitzed to win all but one title (earned by Russia) on offer. Competition will most certainly be tough, as Australia, Germany, Great Britain, Ukraine, USA and Russia also have strong contenders to claim a podium spot.
Since the 2008 edition, a sixth day was added to the competition, following the ever-growing number of divers participating in the event.
