: I don't think Vygusova's slated to compete, but
: Anna is the sole representative from
: Sweden. So good luck to her.
: I've heard that Anna has really grown
: beautifully into her diving. Also that
: she herself is just a walking stunner.
: At one of the FINA Grand Prix events in June,
: Anna came 2nd on 1m, just two points
: behind Chen Wen in the silver. She was
: also 3rd on the 3m, 3.5 points behind
: Sorokina in silver. Vyguzova came 5th (25
: points behind Anna). And Khristoferova
: and her came 2nd in 3m synchro. However,
: that competition didn't seem to include
: the U.S.A., Canada or Australia.
: At the previous Grand Prix meet in Swedend
: though she won 3m by a hefty 33points (or
: thereabouts). And in the one prior to
: Worlds held in Italy, the two Kazakhstan
: girls won 3m synchro. In the one prior to
: that in Germany, Anna came 13th on 3m
: (gues something went wrong).
: At Worlds on 1m, Anna was in the B Semi-Final
: and placed 6th. There were two semis and
: the top 3 from each, irrespective of
: score, went through to the final. So even
: though her 6th place score was about equal
: to the 4th place score in Semi-Final A; it
: didn't matter. The poor Aussie, Leisl
: Ischia and Russian, Vera Ilyina had scores
: that would have ranked them 3rd in the A
: Semi, but only 4th and 5th in their Semi,
: so they never made it through. Such a
: shame. So she essentially came 10th after
: semis, with no chance to improve that in
: finals. On 3m Vyguzova came 8th on 3m,
: and Anna wasn't in the results.
