Over 250 world-class divers will compete at the Aquatics Centre on the Olympic Park in the 18th FINA Visa Diving World Cup 2012 from 20-26 February. The event is part of the London Prepares series, the official London 2012 sports testing programme.

The 2012 Olympics will feature competition in 8 events (Men and Women events each of): 3 metre springboard, synchronized 3 metre springboard, 10 metre platform, and synchronized 10 metre platform.

The line-up will include Chinese Olympic champions He Chong and Chen Ruolin. Chong is 2008 Olympic individual 3m Springboard gold medallist and three-time world champion while Ruolin is double Olympic champion, winning both the 10m Platform and Synchronised 10m Platform.

China is currently the dominant force in diving – but Australian Matt Mitcham could threaten their hopes for a gold rush at the World Cup. Mitcham became the only non-Chinese athlete to win a gold medal at the Beijing 2008 Diving competition, when he won the Individual 10m Platform.

The British team have named 13 athletes, including Synchronised 10m pair Tom Daley and Pete Waterfield and rising star Jack Laugher, who is current Junior World Champion in both the Individual 3m Springboard and Individual 1m Springboard. Tonia Couch, Britain’s most celebrated female diver who placed eighth in the Individual 10m Platform at the Beijing Games and has finished in the top 10 in the last two FINA World Championships, will also feature for GB.

The competition, which is part of the London Prepares series of test events and supported by Visa, UK Sport and British Swimming, will be the first sporting event to be held at the spectacular Aquatics Centre and the 31st test event to be staged by the London 2012 Organising Committee (LOCOG).

The event will test key elements of the venue operation and logistics such as lighting, results, scoring, workforce and timing while providing an ideal opportunity for athletes and team officials to compete at the venue ahead of the 2012 Games and offer feedback on LOCOG’s plans.

London 2012 Director of Sport Debbie Jevans said: ‘With less than 200 days to go until the start of the Games our testing continues to be a priority. Welcoming spectators into the Aquatics Centre for the 18th FINA Visa Diving World Cup 2012 will give a fantastic opportunity to see the world’s best divers compete in an Olympic venue and will also provide us, the organisers, with a unique chance to test our operations.’
