Mitcham made his long awaited return to international diving in Germany, and competed well to earn a fifth place finish in the men’s 10m platform. Mticham scored 459.15 points and 13 world cup points.

The NSWIS trio will next compete at the 2012 FINA World Cup at the same venue hosting the Olympic diving events in London.
