MONTREAL – Two local divers with the Kitchener-Waterloo Diving Club fell short in their bid to make the London Olympic team at trials this weekend.
Brett Gillis, 16, (pictured) finished in 16th place in the 10-metre event, while teammate C.J. Moore, 18, placed 14th in competition Saturday. The pair qualified for their first-ever Olympic trials with strong performances at nationals this season.
Former Olympian Riley McCormick of Victoria earned the Olympic berth again in the 10-metre event, scoring four perfect 10s on his reverse dive in the fifth round to win the competition, scoring 979.80 points.
Moore also finished 17th Sunday in the three-metre event. Olympic silver medalist Alexandre Despatie has already earned the berth in that event.
Diving Canada will find out in June if a second diver can be sent to London in the 10-metre event. In that case, the berth would go to Eric Sehn of Edmonton, who placed second at trials with a score of 863.65.

Thank you for sharing. I ntioced a similar symbology in a new surfs movie billboard in los Angeles. The Scottish smurf, or at least the one wearing a kilt with red hair, has a blue puff ball on the top of his hat. It is the only one with such a top hat and it's folded forward hanging perfectly where the minds eye of the chakra would be, for the third eye.

I love this manga. Sometimes though I think they would have less problems if they were both more honest with each other. While their stubbornness is attractive and cute, it leaves them both feeling insecure. Plus, neither will say that they are in love, which kinda annoys me. They have this whole "I am a man, emotions are for girls" kinda thing going on. It's like they can't be honest without feeling weak. Lululemon Outlet http://lululemonyogaclothing.over-blog.com/
