Today was the first day of Olympic Trials. The men competed on the 3 metre and the women on the tower. It was such an exciting day full of great diving. Both events were won on the last dive and I'm so pleased that Riley's synchro partner Reuben won the 3 metre and a ticket to Beijing.
While I know Riley is well prepared and feeling good, I can't help but be nervous about Sunday. An Olympic berth is a huge incentive and there is a ton of pressure. I know everyone will dive well and just hope Riley will dive to his potential. I think he will! Here is a link to a story written in the local paper today. http://www.canada.com/victoriatimescolonist/news/sports/story.html?id=23a7dfd0-1544-4b81-b96b-d2107c0ad63f. Wish us luck!
Ponderings about being the mom of one of Canada's top divers; the excitement, pride, trials and tribulations of having an elite athlete for a son.
