(Fukuoka) Montreal’s Pamela Ware won the bronze medal in the 3-metre springboard on Friday at the FINA World Aquatics Championships in Fukuoka, Japan.
Ware, 30, completed her five dives with a total score of 332.00 points, just over nine points behind silver medalist Chang Yani of China (341.50).
The gold medal went to Chen Yiwen, also of China, with a cumulative score of 359.50 points.
For Ware, it is a fourth career podium finish at the FINA World Championships and her first since 2015.
In the last few days, she had earned fourth place in the 1 meter springboard and fifth place in the synchronized 3 meter springboard, along with her partner Mia Vallée.
Ware was scheduled to compete tomorrow in the mixed 3m springboard with Bryden Hattie but chose to skip it to keep her body fresh and ready for the Diving World Cup Super Final in Berlin from August 4-6.
In addition, Ware’s performances in the 3-metre springboard in Fukuoka ensure that Canada will have a representative in this event at the Paris Olympics in 2024.
