Fung, Miller claim bronze in 10-metre World Cup diving in Montreal

MONTREAL — Katelyn Fung and Kate Miller claimed their first international podium finish as a team in the synchronized 10-metre event at the Montreal Diving World Cup on Saturday.

The two Ontario athletes earned their best scores on their final two of five dives (69.12 and 73.92 points). Their total of 296.94 points placed them just ahead of the Australians (293.22), who were provisionally second with one dive remaining.

The gold medal went to Lu Wei and Zhang Minjie of China (349.98), while the silver was awarded to Jo Jin Mi and Kim Mi Hwa of North Korea (304.92).

“It’s really amazing, and such a great reward. It shows how hard we’ve worked in training. We don’t live in the same place, but (Miller) comes here to train, so we take advantage of that to prepare ourselves well,” said Fung, who hails from London but trains at the National Centre in Montreal.

Miller is a student at the University of Southern California, but she plans to be in Montreal more frequently to train with her partner in advance of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.

“Last year was the first time we dove as a team, so it’s incredible for us to have won a medal in our second year together. We have a pretty good idea of what we’ll be able to accomplish in our next competition,” said Miller, who is from Ottawa. She hoped to ride Saturday’s momentum into the women’s 10-metre individual final on Sunday.

Also on Saturday, Nathan Zsombor-Murray and Carson Paul (389.55) competed as a team in the men’s synchronized three-metres event for the first time. The pair came close to claiming the third spot on the podium, but fell short by just 4.11 points and finished fourth, just behind Anthony Harding and Jack Laugher of Great Britain (393.66).

The gold medal went to Wang Zongyuan and Zheng Jiuyuan of China (461.37), while the silver medal was claimed by Juan Celaya Hernandez and Osmar Olvera Ibara of Mexico (441.63).
