It's because of his dedication, work ethic, and attitude that his coach was not surprised by Tiaglei's accomplishment.
“He’s been working really hard for this and had his sights set on it — too humble to say it out loud to most people,” said a proud Ludwick, who shared that Tiaglei was unaware of the sizeable lead he had compiled going into the final series of dives. “I knew he could do it a hundred percent. I think pressure is a privilege and sometimes you need to see what you’re able to do with that situation,”
High Diving is a fairly new event on the international stage, and Ludwick says there were just four countries represented in Lima last weekend. “The top divers from the U.S., Canada, Mexico and Brazil. It is a newer discipline so some of the other Pan Am countries aren’t quite there yet,” said the Manitoba Regional Diving Centre Head Coach. “We still had a good range of athletes at different levels throughout all of the countries that are on board so far.
One of the keys to Tiaglei’s success was the recent addition of a reverse jump with three somersaults. And by recent, we’re talking about a dive the 17 year old Winnipegger had just learned in Peru a few days ahead of the competition. “It’s a little more common in high diving because here in Winnipeg we don’t actually have access to anything higher than 10 Meter,” said Tiaglei whose main sport was gymnastics until he transitioned to diving at the age of 11.
