Heartbreak for Aussie divers as blown final dive denies Anabelle Smith and Maddison Keeney medal in 3m synchronised springboard
ABCThe margin between success and failure is always a precarious tightrope. Unfortunately for Australian divers Maddison Keeney and Anabelle Smith, they fell on the wrong side of that divide as they missed out on winning Australia's first medal of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games in the 3m synchronised springboard final on the first full night of competition. Smith and Keeney were on an upward trajectory, diving at a Games together for the first time since 2016, they improved from sixth place after their opening dive to the medal places just two rounds later. Instead of celebrating Australia's first medal of the Games, Smith was left screaming under the water and in floods of tears on the side of the pool. Maddison Keeney and Anabelle Smith were in medal contention through the first four rounds of competition.
