Day 3 of the AIDA Depth World Championships in Cyprus saw Ukraine’s Kateryna Sadurska continue her gold-medal-winning ways by nabbing first place in the Constant Weight with Bifins (CWTB) discipline.
Sadurska, who nabbed the Constant Weight No Fins (CNF) gold earlier this week, executed a flawless dive to 97m/318ft to claim her second gold medal, while the USA’s Enchante Gallardo brought home the silver with her 96m/315ft dive and Hungary’s Zsofia Torocsik took bronze with her 92m/302ft dive.
In post-dive comments, Sadurska said:
“It’s not the discipline I trained. The conditions are great. I like the warm water. The thermocline is very gentle. I’m actually very happy already now, and I’m just enjoying being here and doing what I’m love.”
As for Gallardo, she said after her dive:
“I think the hardest part of the dive was how I felt before the dive and how nervous I was. Once you’re in the dive, then you just do the best that you can, and that’s what I did.”
