Melissa Wu is on the cusp of becoming the first Australian diver to compete at five Olympics after overcoming nerves to clinch another national title. The 32-year-old has triumphed in the women’s 10-metre platform at the national championships in Adelaide. Wu’s victory on Saturday night ensures she will be nominated to the Australian Olympic Committee, which will ratify all diving selections for the Paris Olympics within weeks.
“I’m feeling relieved that the competition is over,” she said. “I had a lot of nerves heading into this event — I always get super nervous when I compete, and have done so from a young age. “But I think all the work I have put in over the years with the mindset and experiences I’ve had, I’ve learnt to deal with that a little better now.” Wu won a silver medal in the synchronised 10m platform at Beijing 2008 and bronze in the individual 10m platform in Tokyo three years ago.
