Silver for Jennifer Abel at the Tokyo Olympics after disappointment five years ago
Jennifer Abel and Melissa Citrini-Beaulieu of Canada react after winning silver in women's synchronized diving at the Tokyo Olympics.Nearly two hours before the start of their synchronized diving competition Sunday, Jennifer Abel and Melissa Citrini-Beaulieu strode onto the three-metre springboard to begin their warm-up.
On Sunday, Team Canada once again watched nervously as the pair fell to sixth place after their first two dives in what looked like an unwelcome echo of Abel’s performance in Rio, where Abel and Pamela Ware missed the bronze medal spot by less than one point. “We knew our first two dives weren’t necessarily the best,” Abel said. But “after Rio, I knew that one of the biggest mistakes I made was to focus on the medal.”
“We proved it to ourselves that we are the best team that Team Canada could have in diving,” Abel said.
