Down-Jenkins finished 10th in the 3m springboard - New Zealand's best ever finish at a diving world cup. "I just went into the competition wanting to have fun and I told myself if I qualify an Olympic spot that's great but if it doesn't happen no worries. "My head space and mindset is something I've really been working on lately and it really paid dividends at that competition. "I'm super proud to represent New Zealand, we don't have as much resource in diving as some of the big powerhouse nations and so that just makes me even more thrilled with this achievement. It's so awesome to know that my hard work has paid off."
