Mostar 2017
-
What a day in Mostar. Gary Hunt finally put to bed the myth that he cannot win on bridges, while Cesilie Carlton rediscovered that winning feeling after a fairly low key season so far. Congratulations must also go to 22-year-old wildcard Nikita Fedotov, who put in a stunning performance to land on the the podium in his first ever World Series event. See you for the big finale in Chile on October 21st.

If you missed the action from Friday's first rounds, the big news is that current women's leader Rhiannan Iffland is out of the competition following an injury during her warm up dive. Adriana Jimenez leads after two rounds and now has the chance to make up the big points gap to Iffland. Read the full story from day one.

In the men's, it's Kris Kolanus who leads after two rounds, but with his lower degree of difficulty dives today he'll need to show perfection to have a chance of winning. With Englishmen Gary Hunt and Blake Aldridge not quite firing yet this weekend, and Americans Andy Jones and David Colturi low down in the standings, it's probably Jonathan Paredes who is in prime position to make a move and repeat his victory here from two years ago.

Andy Jones will kick off the men's third round shortly, but unfortunately whatever he does he won't be able to make a place in the top 8 and the final after earning zero points for his second round failed dive yesterday. The American added one twist too many and was punished accordingly by the judges. -

Gary Hunt, under a little pressure having lost his overall championship lead at the last stop, steps up and rips his Forward 3 Somersaults 3 1/2 Twists. It's a huge score for the Brit, who has never won a World Seies event from a bridge before. He's into the lead.

What a brilliant dive under pressure from Carlton. Perfectly executed in the air and then she rips cleanly into the Neretva River. It's enough to edge her past Merten by just two points. Merten will be delighted with 2nd place though, and she closes in on fellow Australian Iffland in the overall standings.

That is simply sensational from Fedotov. 9, 9, 9.5 for his Forward 3 Somersaults 2 1/2 Twists. He's not only in the lead for now, but has a real chance of making the podium with that dive. Could he even win it? It's been done with lower total scores than that this season.

Hunt finally wins from a bridge in the World Series, and in doing so he reclaims his lead in the overall standings with one stop to go. LoBue finishes in second place after the judges made some deductions to what looked on first glance like a superb dive. And what a result for Nikita Fedotov! The 22-year-old Russian finishes on the podium at his very first World Series event. What a prospect he is for the future.
