Esther dives in to take on the world

IT’S time to enjoy true diving perfection, with 136 elite divers from around the world including former Lidcombe resident Esther Qin (pictured) among Australia’s seven best, competing in the Tokyo Olympics this week and next.
There will be four events each for men and women: 3m springboard, synchronised 3m springboard, 10m platform, and synchronised 10m platform.
Rio Olympian Esther has been described by coach Chava Sobrino as “exciting to watch and possessing one of the best hurdles in the world”.
At the time of going to press, China had won the first gold.
