Canada’s Alexandre Despatie is expected to compete in the London Games after a diving mishap in Spain that left the twice Olympic silver medallist in hospital overnight with a large cut to his head, Diving Canada said on Wednesday. The 27-year-old from Laval, Quebec, suffered a 10cm gash in practice when he struck a springboard while performing the third somersault of an inward 3-1/2 dive where Despatie starts backwards and spins back toward the board. Despatie, who needs the scar to heal in time to take part in the July 27 to August 12 London Olympics, underwent a short operation on Wednesday with a plastic surgeon to close a cut that forced him to lose consciousness briefly.from gulfnews.com
