Christoffer Eskilsson is Sweden’s only male diver from 10 meters. In January he decided to move to Stockholm to able to train everyday with his coach. He’s goal was the world championships in China 2011. Growing up in the city of Lund, he was only able to practice his jumps every now and then, because the town didn’t have any room for an “elite”. He’s need for training took up to much playtime in the town’s swim hall.*Christoffer made is to the World championships, but did not take any medals. His aim is now the Olympics in London 2014.
