Paris 2024: Nur Dhabitah splashes into 3m springboard semis

PARIS, Aug 7 — Diver Nur Dhabitah Sabri secured a spot in the women's individual three metres springboard semifinals at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games today.

The 25-year-old started brilliantly in the first dive, finishing second with 67.50 points at the Paris Aquatics Centre, Saint-Denis, but her performance declined with scores of 63, 54 and 48 in the second, third, and fourth dives.

However, she regained composure in the fifth dive to bounce back and finish the round in 12th place with 283.65 points.

Only the top 18 divers qualify for the semifinals scheduled for tomorrow.

China's Chen Yiwen topped the standings with 356.40 points, followed by Australia's Kenny Maddison with 337.35 points in second place, and Mexico's Vazquez Montana in third (321.74 points).

The Paris Olympics is Dhabitah's third Olympic appearance after the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics.
