Triple treat for Mitcham

Diver Matthew Mitcham has returned to the winner’s circle after an excellent performance at the 2013 Australian Diving Championships in Sydney over the weekend.

Following a long injury layoff, Mitcham won gold in the men’s 10m platform, 1m springboard and 3m synchronised springboard at the championships, narrowly missing out on a clean sweep after Grant Nel took gold in the men’s 3m springboard.

Fellow NSWIS athlete Melissa Wu also returned to the top of the podium after injury struggles, winning gold in the women’s 10m platform before teaming up with Rachel Bugg to triumph in the women’s 10m platform synchronised event.
