Broben's comeback diving gold in Germany

Australian 2012 London Olympic diving silver medal winner Brittany Broben has taken gold at the German International in Berlin.

Australian Olympic diving silver medallist Brittany Broben has made a successful injury comeback to win gold at the German International in Berlin.

Broben sent out a strong message to her rivals with an impressive performance, dominating the platform final on Friday from the opening dive, finishing with 353.80 points.

Germany's Maria Kurjo was second on 321.35 and Australian teenager Annarose Keating finished fourth on 294.05.

Broben has had a disrupted campaign since storming to silver at the 2012 London Olympics.

A shoulder injury kept her out of the pool for most of 2014, forcing her to miss the Glasgow Commonwealth Games.

She returned to competition last year, but took most of 2015 to build up to her most difficult dives.

Australia have qualified two positions in the women's platform at the Rio Olympics, courtesy of Melissa Wu's top-12 result at last year's world championships and Broben's win at the Oceania qualifiers.

The final Australian team will be decided at the Olympic selection trials in May in Melbourne.

Australian springboard diver Joshua Kehagias finished 11th in the three-metre final in Berlin.
