How To Not Make a Splash
Olympic and world championship medallists, Alexandre Despatie and Emilie Heymans, were here at the end of January to compete in the 2010 Winter Senior National Diving Championships, held at the Etobicoke Olympium. Divers used the event to start planning their 2012 Olympic programs, which feature some of the most difficult dives being performed in the world today. The championships were also used to select Canada’s representatives for the first ever Youth Olympic Games taking place this August in Singapore. In total, over 70 divers representing 21 clubs from across the country competed for national championship titles. In lieu of charging admission, financial donations went towards relief efforts in Haiti.
