Div: Aussie divers win bronze

Australia has collected its third diving bronze medal of the Athens Olympics when ROBERT
NEWBURY and STEVEN BARNETT finished third in the men's three metre synchronised springboard
event.

It's NEWBURY'S second medal at the Athens Games after collecting bronze with MATHEW
HELM in the men's 10 metre synchronised platform.

The Australians slipped into third place after first-placed China botched its fifth
dive and failed to get a score.

Greece won the gold medal to the delight of the home crowd while Germany was second.
