At the edge of the pool many wanted to have a souvenir photo with the permanent winner. “A home-EM to go equal with three gold medals in the first three contests home … I’ve outdone yourself,” house thing was astonished by his Diving Tale of Berlin about yourself.
Fingers crossed his girlfriend, family and friends with the house thing Discus Olympic champion Robert Harting helped in a curious but top class jumping from the three-meter board in the end.

At the very beginning made house thing for a moment of shock. The two and a half times the backward somersault brought the EM-third of the previous year is not optimal in the water, conceding only scores between 5.0 and 6.0. But then rolled house thing on the field from behind and won in his “bathroom” as he referred to the Europe Sports Park, its 22 European medal. These successes, especially the third gold at home were, it “uncanny”, House Ding said. “That was a big thing.”

In 2010 he had won at the European Championships in Budapest as the first Springer five medals. Even with the home-EM was born in Berlin starts five times. “He’s a pig fight,” joked Buschkow. “It holds a real diver who never gives up.” It was a Mental Martial Arts today, said house thing. “But behind the duck mmmm.”

House thing occurs before the decision of the tower on Saturday together with Feck in the three-meter synchronized diving on Friday at. “Let’s see to what it still is enough,” said the synchronous jump world champion from the tower.
In contrast Feck had again left behind. He had often struggled in the past with his nerves and jumped in front of a home crowd this time no optimal competition. After strong qualifying and fourth Feck fell back after a weak three and a half times the dolphin Alto from temporary fifth.
