Kristian Ipsen had an incredible weekend at the 2015 USA Diving Winter National Championships. Ipsen competed this past week in both the men’s individual 3 meter springboard, and the men’s 3 meter synchronized competition with parters Sam Dorman and Troy Dumais. Kristian came home with two gold medals, and is eager to compete some more!
Going into this competition Ipsen was eager and prepared. “I felt really good going into the competition. I felt really relaxed and really excited to compete. Usually competition makes me nervous but I was weirdly excited for this one. I felt as prepared as I could for this contest considering that I broke my hand at the beginning of October. I felt like I was in good shape but I just hadn’t done many numbers of my optionals.”
Ipsen is truly a marvel to watch. His technique and grace on the board and airborne is remarkable. The crowd favorite in Ipsen’s 3 meter list is his 5337D (reverse 1 1/2 somersault 3 1/2 twist free). This is consistently one of his highest scoring dives. During the preliminary competition, his score totaled 91, in the semi-final it rose to 94.5, and in the final round he scored a still impressive 84 points.
