Cuban diver Anisley García finished with a bronze medal in the 3-meter springboard event at the Senior National Diving Championships in Canada, which was hosted this weekend at the Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre.

The two-time Olympic semifinalist from Paris 2024 competed as a guest athlete and achieved a final score of 301.85 points. This is an event in which she has been steadily consolidating her performance, despite her best historical results previously coming from the platform.

Anisley has been training in the North American nation for over a year under a scholarship sponsored by World Aquatics, utilizing local competitions to test herself in a highly demanding environment. Finishing ahead of her on the podium this time were Margo Erlan (319.60) and Mia Vallée (312.80).

The Cuban athlete had advanced to the final with a total of 273.10 points, placing fifth among the 27 competitors during the preliminary rounds.

Once in the medal round, she improved her performance, particularly through excellent executions of the twisting dive that closes her routine (5152B) and the inward two-and-a-half somersaults (405B) that she uses to open her sequence.

Having been a part of the international elite for nearly a decade, Anisley is Cuba's primary medal hope in diving for the Santo Domingo 2026 Central American and Caribbean Games.

At that upcoming event, her main rivals will be the Mexican divers, and her objective will be to defend her 2018 and 2023 championship titles on the platform.

In San Salvador, she was the most decorated Cuban athlete in diving; in addition to winning individual gold on the platform, she secured podium finishes in both the 1-meter and 3-meter springboards, as well as in the mixed synchronized platform with Carlos Daniel Ramos and the women's synchronized 3-meter springboard with Prisis Leydi Ruiz.
