A local diver won three gold medals at the 2025 Speedo Junior Elite National Championships being held in Edmonton, a feat achieved two years in a row.
Calgary's Chase Shaw scored 365.20 points in the boys' Group B (divers aged 14 or 15) one-metre diving contest, earning him gold in the category.
He also competed in the three-metre contest and the platform event, where he won the top spots in each competition.

'I never thought I'd win all three events, especially for a second year in a row! It was a tough challenge, against very strong competitors,' said Shaw.
'[Winning those events] really helped me a lot! It showed me that I have what it takes to beat my opponents. I did hope to win a medal in today's finals, but I really didn't expect to win gold because the level of competition was so high,' he said.
The championships are being held at the Kinsmen Sports Centre and wrap up Sunday afternoon.
