USA Diving will be sending nine athletes to the 2021 FINA World Cup to take place in Tokyo, Japan May 1-6, 2021. Among the athletes are 2016 Olympians Kassidy Cook, Michael Hixon and Jessica Parratto as well as newly crowned NCAA Div. 1 Champions Sarah Bacon, Andrew Capobianco and Brandon Loschiavo.

The spots being sought after are two individual spots for the Women’s three-meter, as well as the Men’s and Women’s three-meter synchronized spots and the Men’s ten-meter synchronized spot,

 

“We are excited to head to Tokyo and have our athletes get back to international competition,” said USA Diving’s High-Performance Director, Dan Laak, “The past fifteen months have been extremely challenging, but our athletes have continued to train and stay motivated. I am extremely confident in the team we are bringing to Tokyo for the World Cup and look forward to seeing how they perform.”
