Taylor And Waterfield Head GB Diving Squad

Last updated: 13/03/2008 17:07

Olympic and world medallists Leon Taylor and Peter Waterfield will lead Britain's squad at March's World Diving Championships in Melbourne.

 

The duo returned to winning ways at the British Championships after Taylor proved his fitness following a fourth shoulder operation.

 

They won bronze in the 10m synchro at the 2005 World Championships and silver at the 2004 Olympics in Athens.

 

The 11-strong team will aim to seal their places for the 2008 Olympics.

 

"It was good to see Leon back in action once again in December after his long lay-off," said British Diving performance director Steve Foley. "He and Pete (Waterfield) looked great together in the 10m synchro and you wouldn't believe they hadn't dived together in such a long time. If they dive like that in Melbourne the other nations are going to have their work cut out. They are genuine medal contenders."

 

The squad comprises Tonia Couch (Plymouth); Tandi Gerrard (City of Leeds); Stacie Powell, Blake Aldridge, Gareth Jones, Pete Waterfield (all Southampton; Jodie McGroarty, Hayley Sage, Antonio Ally, Nicholas Robinson-Baker, Leon Taylor (all City of Sheffield).
