"I'm really, really happy because coming here, to be honest, I wasn't the most confident," said the 24-year-old. "It's been three weeks that I've been doing my competition dives."

Ware had surgery for a stress fracture in her left foot in December of 2016. She returned to training only six weeks ago.

"In one week my confidence has boosted so much," said Ware.
