McKay, of Calgary, finished seventh out of 18 in the semifinal, advances to Tuesday’s final
Canada's Caeli McKay competes in the women's 10m platform diving semifinal at the 2024 Summer Olympics, on Aug. 5, in Saint-Denis, France.After taking a few days to digest her fourth-place finish with Kate Miller in the synchronized 10-metre platform diving at the Paris Olympics, Caeli McKay returned to the Olympic Aquatic Centre on Monday and qualified for the individual final.
“The job’s done for today. The job’s not done for the whole event. I’m really happy I made the finals. It was a very up-and-down day,” said McKay, assessing her performance. “I had some good stuff. I had some not-so-great stuff. Overall, I was relatively consistent, which I was really happy with. I have a lot of stuff I can improve on, so I’m quite relieved with that.”
China won seven of eight diving gold medals at the Tokyo Olympics and aims for a sweep in Paris, where they’re currently 4-for-4. “I think it’s one of the only events in diving right now that is really not sanely possible to say we would win a silver or gold. The Chinese team is just dominating. These girls are amazing. They’re very, very consistent and they don’t miss,” she said.
