Alexandre Despatie and Reuben Ross of Canada finished 1-2 on men's three-metre on Monday in diving at the Commonwealth Games
It is Despatie's second gold and his eight career victory at the Commonwealth Games. He has won both the one-metre and three-metre events at the last three Games. "A medal at these Games is always special for me," said Despatie.
On Monday, Despatie led after every round in the final and totalled 513.75 points with Ross second at 457.15 and Grant Nel of Australia third at 456.55. Eric Sehn of Edmonton took fourth spot at 437.05. "This was not a routine victory I woke up this morning and I really wanted to perform," said Despatie, 25, who earned at least 9.0's on five of his six dives in the final. "We've been training very hard for two months for this competition and I knew the preparation was there. There's always more pressure at Games and to do well here augurs well for the next two years."
India beat Canada 3-0 to finish 5th in Commonwealth Games Women's Hockey
The Canadian women did not appear to be intimidated and contained the initial pressure well, pushing forward dangerously on a green card to India, but to no avail. The first serious chance was for India when a forward received the ball unmarked at the top of the circle, but Canadian Azelia Liu stood tall in goal for a spectacular glove save. India earned the first penalty-corner of the game in the 13th minute, but could not generate a shot under the pressure of the Canadian runners.
