Wu opens up on fear in diving | 02:58 Melissa Wu has her eyes set on delivering a fairytale medal in Paris after becoming first Australian diver ever to compete at five Olympics.
Wu, who first competed in the Olympics as a 16-year-old in Beijing, has both a silver and a bronze medal on her resume but having overcome a series of injuries in recent years said making the team again was “incredible”.“Having made the team now I can look back on achieving something pretty special. “I’ve been lucky to have a really long career. I’ve had a few injuries the past few years and my diving hasn’t been the best, but now I feel like I’m finally getting back into form and it’s exciting to have the opportunity to continue to work back towards what I know I’m capable of.”
