TOKYO: China’s Shi Tingmao advanced to the women’s 3m springboard diving finals in first place at the Tokyo Games, while two-time Olympian Pamela Ware of Canada suffered a surprise exit after she missed her last attempt. Then I felt a little strained, but I realised that, in fact, the competition is about seeing who can give it a go,” Tingmao, the defending Olympic champion, told reporters. I’m kind of emotionless, which is really weird for me because I usually act on my emotions really quickly,” the 28-year-old said. “But I think that if I would have done the dive, I could have possibly hurt myself,” she added on the failed dive. The women’s 3m springboard finals will take place today, as China look to extend their winning streak to nine golds in the event.
