Kiwi diver overcomes COVID-19 to earn Tokyo selection Newshub 4 days ago © Image - Getty; Video - Newshub Anton Down-Jenkins in action during the qualifiers.
New Zealand will take a male diver to the Olympics for the first time in almost 40 years, with the selection of Anton Down-Jenkins for the upcoming Tokyo Games.
The 21-year-old Wellingtonian has been based in the US for the past three years, where he competes for University of North Carolina. I m super proud to represent New Zealand, says Down-Jenkins. We don’t have as much resource in diving as some of the big powerhouse nations, so that just makes me even more thrilled with this achievement.

The 21-year-old has been selected after securing his Olympic quota spot at the qualification event in Japan earlier this month.
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.
