(Beijing, 23 Feb.) - Commend from Christina Loukas (USA), Anna Lindberg (SWE) after the women's 3m springboard in the National Aquatics Center.

Christina Loukas (USA) - 4th place

On her first dive (her lowest-scorining dive, 405B, 3.0 DD, scoring 58.50): 
"It's my first World Cup so I felt a bit nervous. I used to compete in the 1m springboard."

On taking deep breaths before every dive:
"It's not due to nerves. It's just a habit."

On her impression of the venues (Bird's Nest and Water Cube):
"The Bird's Nest is fantastic. During the daytime, I prefer the Bird's Nest, but the Water Cube is better in the evening."

On her expectation for the finals:
"I will just be there and try my best."

Anna Lindberg (SWE) - 9th place

On her parents:
"My mother is my coach, so she is hard on me, but in a good way as both my coach and mom. My father is a judge. he coached me occasionally and has a different role in my family. So they are different."

On her brother:
"My brother was a swimmer, so all my family's lives have revolved around the water. However, he cannot do it anymore so he quit and became a lawyer."

On blending in diving with her design mayor in university:
"They are linked in some way, since diving is an artistic sport."
