Overview

• Iris Schmidbauer placed 15th in Singapore after four dives from 20 meters, falling just outside the top-14 cutoff for Saturday’s final.
• The 30-year-old European champion returned to elite competition in April following the birth of daughter Leilani in August 2024.
• She executed a handstand dive with two-and-a-half somersaults and a double twist but was unable to stabilize her entry as planned.
• Touring with an 11-month-old, Schmidbauer has no backup caregiver and depends on sponsors to cover local babysitting costs during events.
• Because high diving is not an Olympic discipline, she must rely on prize money and private sponsorship to fund her training and travel.
