Kim Na-hyeon (20, Gangwon Provincial Office) failed to advance to the finals of the women's 10m platform diving event at the 2024 World Aquatics Championships.
Na-Hyeon Kim ranked 16th out of 18 people with a total of 250.95 points in the first to fifth periods in the women's 10m platform diving semifinals held at the Hamad Aquatic Center in Doha, Qatar on the 5th, missing out on a ticket to the finals of the top 12.
Kim Na-hyun, who received 275.45 points in the previous day's preliminaries and advanced to the semifinals in 16th place out of 46 people, aimed to become the first Korean athlete to advance to the finals of the women's 10m platform diving world championships, but finished in 16th place in the semifinals.
Kim Na-hyeon, who was in 12th place until the 4th period, performed a difficulty 3.2 in the 5th period, performing two and a half laps in a twisting motion and one and a half laps in a pike position with her legs straight and holding her legs with both arms (5253B). He made a mistake while attempting to do so, and only scored 33.60 points in the final period, the lowest among 18 people, and his ranking plummeted.
The 12 people who advanced to the finals of this event earned their country a spot at the Paris Olympics.
In diving, qualifications for the Paris Olympics are distributed to the National Olympic Committee (NOC) rather than to individual athletes.
Although Kim Na-hyun failed to advance to the finals, there is still a chance that Korea will qualify for the Paris Olympics in the women's 10m platform.
The International Aquatics Federation has decided that the method of distributing qualifications for the Paris Olympics for the individual diving event will be '12 tickets for the 2023 Fukuoka World Championships, a maximum of 5 tickets for each continental championship, and 12 tickets for the 2024 Doha World Championships.'
However, by limiting the number of individual event participants per country to two, it is expected that qualifications for the Paris Olympics will be distributed to countries that do not produce the top 12 at the World Championships.
North Korea diving Kim Mi-rae
In the semifinals that day, Kim Mirae (22) came in third place with 325.20 points, giving North Korea a ticket to the Paris Olympics.
Mirae Kim, who won a silver medal in the women's synchro 10m platform and a bronze medal in the mixed synchro 10m platform at the 2017 Budapest World Championships, is aiming to win her first individual world championship medal in a competition she has participated in for the first time in seven years.
Chen Yuxi (18, China), who is aiming for her fourth consecutive title in this event, passed the semifinals in first place with 421.85 points.
Quan Hongchan (16, China), who defeated Chen Yuxi to win the Hangzhou Asian Games, ranked second in the semifinals with 405.30 points.
The women's 10m platform final will be held on the morning of the 6th. 스포츠토토맨
