Alexandre Despatie - Canadian Diving Sensation
French-Canadian diver, Alexandre Despatie (born, June 8, 1985), captured the hearts of Canadians when he won a gold medal on the 10M diving board at the 1998 Commonwealth Games and suddenly became an overnight celebrity.
Since then, he has accomplished what no other diver has in history. At the 2005 World Championships, cheered on by a partisan home crowd, Alexandre became the first diver to be world champion on all three boards. He claimed the gold medal on the 1M and 3M in Montreal to go with the gold he captured at the 2003 World Championships in Barcelona on the 10M board.
2003 was also a big year for Alexandre as he won his first world championship title on the 10M and then won three gold and a bronze at the Pan American Games in Santo Domingo. That success carried on to the Athens Olympics where he won the silver medal on the 3M board, the first Olympic diving medal for a Canadian man.
2006 got off to a great start as he captured three gold medals and one bronze at the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne.
Returning to Melbourne, this time for the 2007 World Aquatic Championships, Alex won silver medals in the 3M event and the 3M synchro with partner Arturo Miranda. He is a true threat on springboard heading into the Beijing Olympics in a sport where the Chinese diving team is expected to capture every gold medal.
