In the men’s 10m platform, 20-year-old Nathan Zsombor-Murray jumped two spots from his qualifying placement to grab the last spot on the podium. His bronze is his first World Cup medal of the season.
In other notable Team Canada results on Sunday, Caeli McKay finished fifth in the 10m platform.
Vallée and Ware share the podium on Day One.
On day one in the women’s 3m synchro event, Mia Vallée and Pamela Ware captured a pair of bronze medals. Their score of 302.61 allowed them to squeak by Australia’s Maddison Keeney and Alysha Koloi on their final dive by less than a point to take the final step of the podium.
China’s Chang Yani and Chen Yiwen had the top overall score, finishing with 329.43 points for first place. The American pair of Sarah Bacon and Kassidy Cook posted 315.09 points for silver.
