Rachel Bugg

NEWS

SASI athlete Rachel Bugg competed in the Diving Australia Open Championships in Sydney recently. It was her first major competition since returning to diving a little over 12 months ago. Rachel’s goal was to attain National Development Squad status and to finish in the top 6 overall. She achieved both and that puts her in the running for some international competitions and into the Commonwealth Games trial in July. Rachel was solid through the weekend in which she competed 9 lists of dives. Coach Martens said, "We used the springboard competitions as practice runs for Rachel's best event, the platform, which was on the last day. A 6th place finish in the 1 metre competition was as well as she could have done." The platform event is often unpredictable especially when three lists are completed - competitors can have major misses. Rachel was one of the most consistent performers and she finished in fourth place. While she was consistent, Martens said, "a medal was there for the taking and she really just needed one dive to be special...they were good, not great. Fourth was good enough to fight another day.” Rachel has been offered a 3-month trial at the AIS and she left on 2 February. "If she gives them what she gave me, she'll earn a scholarship and be a real chance for London," said Martens.
