Elisa Cosetti Earns Silver in Women's 20m High Diving at European Championships

Elisa Cosetti has clinched the silver medal in the women's 20-meter high diving event at the European Aquatics Championships in Paris, following the final two rounds of competition. Four years prior at the 2022 Rome championships, Cosetti earned a bronze medal in what was her absolute debut in an international competition. Now, she has rewritten her personal history, and more, by securing the silver medal at the Paris European Championships with a score of 297.20 points. After the initial two dives on Thursday, she was already in second place with 141.80 points, which included a forward 2.5 somersault in the pike position (58.50 points) and a backward 2.5 somersault with one twist in the tuck position (83.30 points).

Leading the competition was Ukraine's Nelli Chukanivska (152.30 points), with the surprising Swiss diver Morgane Herculano (138.60 points) and the formidable German Iris Schmidbauer (136.35 points) trailing Cosetti. Cosetti maintained her second-place position thanks to an excellent forward 3.5 somersault in the pike position (68.90 points), noted for its particularly clean entry, and most impressively, a flawless backward 4.5 somersault in the tuck position (87.40 points), which was distinguished by its elegance, fluidity, and power.

Elisa Cosetti has secured the silver medal in the women's 20-meter high diving at the European Aquatics Championships in Paris, following the conclusion of the final two rounds. Four years ago in Rome in 2022, Elisa Cosetti took third place in what was essentially her absolute debut in an international competition. Now, she is rewriting her story, and more, as she earns silver at the Paris European Championships in high diving with a score of 297.20 points. After the first two jumps on Thursday, she was already in second place with 141.80 points (58.50 for the forward somersault in three positions and 83.30 for the backward double somersault with a twist).

Ahead of her was Ukraine's Nelli Chukanivska (152.30), and behind her were the surprising Swiss diver Morgane Herculano (138.60) and the formidable German Iris Schmidbauer (136.35). She maintained this position thanks to a superb forward triple somersault in the pike position (68.90), particularly clean on entry, and most importantly, a quadruple backward somersault in the tuck position (87.40), which was impeccable in its elegance, fluidity, and power.
