Another strong performance for Antoine Chevnine! 🇨🇭👏
The 15-year-old Lausanne diver finishes 5th in the Boys B 1m Springboard Final at the Junior World Championships in Rijeka, scoring an impressive 400.95 points.
Antoine had already set the pace in the preliminaries, winning the qualification with 393.35 points. As the competition format requires the five compulsory dives and their points to be carried over into the final, Antoine started the final with 182.55 points in 5th place. He then added 218.40 points from his four optional final dives – the third-best final score of the entire field.
The competition was incredibly tight, with just 1.5 points separating places 2 to 5 based on the four final dives. Antoine ultimately finished 5th with 400.95 points, just 8.15 points away from the bronze medal.
Together with his 6th place on 3m, Antoine leaves the Junior Worlds with two top-six finishes and another valuable experience at the highest junior level. 💪
Congratulations to Antoine and his coach Alexis Coquet on a fantastic Junior World Championships! 🇨🇭🔥
