Canadian diver Abel earns bronze at worlds

Canada’s Jennifer Abel finished third for her second career bronze in the women’s threemetre springboard competition Friday at the world championships. Olympic champion Shi Tingmao led a China 1-2 finish, winning ahead of Wang Han to claim China’s ninth straight gold in this event, and its seventh in 11 diving events in Budapest so far. Abel, from Laval, Que., won bronze in 2011 when she also finished behind two Chinese divers. “This world championships has a big value for me, because it was my time to turn the page from the Olympic Games, and I did it really good,” said Abel, who was fourth in Rio last year. “I’m really going to leave Budapest with a smile.”
