Stacie, currently ranked number seven in the world and unbeaten this year, dominated both the one-metre, 3m springboard and platform events for Great Britain to win her three medals by a wide margin.

Her gold rush follows victory in the Six Nations tournament held in Southampton last month where she dominated both the 1m and 3m springboard events, overcoming French and German divers on the way.

And the 14-year-old Oxted School pupil, who is a member of Crystal Palace Diving Institute, is now preparing for both the Junior European Title in Istanbul in July and the World Junior Championships in Canada in August.

But she will be up against stiff opposition in both events and will have to contend with top Italian diver Cagnoito, who last year dominated the junior under 16s and whose

father won a silver medal in the 1980 Olympic Games.

Nevertheless, coach Alex Bagiu is quietly confident on Stacie's progress and is hopeful about her chances of success. He said: "She is a very exciting diver to watch when she hits form. Last year she was inexperienced and finished seventh in the world, but this year her diving has matured."

And team-mate 17-year-old Sarah Soo, the 1998 Junior European Champion, had an excellent start to the season by scoring Olympic points in the World Grand Prix while beating British Olympic diver Jane Smith.
