Pamela Ware missed her approach while attempting a high-difficulty dive, forcing her to simply drop feet first into the water. She finished in last place, ending her chances of a second consecutive Olympic final appearance in the three-metre springboard.
Coming off a solid performance in the preliminary round the day before, Ware's mistake in the fifth round of the three-metre springboard semifinal cost her a spot in the final, which looked all but guaranteed after four rounds.
"It's a mistake I also make in training sometimes. I was talking to my coach to tell him that I shouldn't do it in competition and I did." Meanwhile Jennifer Abel could only sympathize with her teammate. The Laval, Que., diver was up for her fifth dive right after Ware.
