Melissa Wu is on the cusp of becoming the first Australian diver to compete at five Olympics after overcoming nerves to clinch another national title. The 32-year-old has triumphed in the women's 10-metre platform at the national championships in Adelaide. Wu's victory on Saturday night ensures she will be nominated to the Australian Olympic Committee, which will ratify all diving selections for the Paris Olympics within weeks. Wu's selection will extend her streak of diving at all Olympics since making her debut as a 16-year-old in Beijing in 2008.
