One more day until registration, what should I announce? What will my competitors be announcing? Does it matter? These are question many athletes will be thinking over in the next couple of days. Some divers are here to dive for themselves, to add to their personal bests, some are here defending titles, some are here diving for sponsors and media attention, we all have our reasons.

I have to say that I am feeling very grateful for having a lot of time here to prepare, things have not gone the way I would have liked them to go most of the time, but with the competition beginning in two days I feel that I have done the best that I can do. I feel ready. I learned a valuable lesson at the last championships about pushing too hard and I plan on doing dives that I feel very comfortable with, will those be enough to make the finals? Honestly I am not sure, I do not know much about my competitors, but I do know my personal struggles and myself.

Depth disciplines are interesting because there are no surprises, if all of the competitors make their depths you can see the winners from the day before. Of course things don’t always go as planned, which can make things very scary or exciting.

Yesterday I took a rest day, I will dive tomorrow, then one more day of rest, then it is time. Until then enjoy the sunsest!
