Noah Penman made his senior international debut
competing for Team GB at the European Games in Poland this past Saturday, 24 June. Noah earned his place on Team GB's diving squad after an impressive performance at last month's British Diving Championships, where he finished fifth for Britain - and seventh overall - in the men's 1m final.
At the European Games, Noah competed in the Mixed Platform Synchro event with partner Maisie Bond, of Sheffield Diving Club. The last-minute pairing meant that Noah and Maisie only had a few training sessions together before heading out to Poland.
Noah had a bit of a tough run up to the competition, dealing with ongoing injuries that meant taking a trip to the hospital in Rzeszow where the games were taking place.
Despite this, he pushed through to compete and he and Maisie finished fifth in the Mixed Platform Synchro finals - after scoring 265.08 across five rounds to finish just 18 points short of a medal place.
A very big congrats to Noah and the entire Team GB diving squad on a brilliant showing in the European Games! And all of us at ASV can't wait to see what's next.
