Canada’s Pamela Ware advances to 3m final at diving World Cup in Montreal

Feb 29, 2024 | 10:28 AM

MONTREAL — Canada’s Pamela Ware put forth a solid performance and advanced to the women’s three-metre springboard final at the World Aquatics Diving World Cup on Thursday.

The 31-year-old Ware, who won silver in Montreal last year, was coming off a disappointing 25th-place finish at the world championship in Doha earlier this month. She also missed her final dive in the synchronized event alongside partner Mia Vallee as Canada failed to secure a quota spot for this summer’s Paris Olympics.

Ware, of Montreal, placed sixth out of 17 in the preliminary round while Calgary’s Aimee Wilson also moved on with a 12th-place finish at the Olympic Pool. Three-time world championship gold medallist Chen Yiwen of China came first.

Amelie-Laura Jasmin, a 19-year-old from Montreal, placed 13th and missed the cut in her first-ever World Cup event.

The women’s three-metre final is set for Saturday.
