Ireland’s Ciara McGing has ended her
World Championships in the preliminary stages of the 10M Platform in Fukuoka,
Japan this morning.
The 22-year-old completed the
preliminaries on 244.90 in 28th place, her highest score coming for her opening
dive, an inward 2 ½ somersaults with 56 points.
Speaking after her even McGing
commented “I’m obviously disappointed with my dives this morning, it was a
shame as I have been training and feeling good. I’m ready to take a break
before I head back to the States (Ohio State University). I’m determined to put
myself in a strong position for Doha. Thank you for all the support from home,
you guys are deadly’.
Following this morning’s
preliminaries eighteen divers progressed to the semi-final. The top 12 are now
confirmed for tomorrow’s final with all securing places for Paris 2024. McGing
will have her second and final opportunity at Paris qualification in February
2024 at the World Aquatics Championships in Doha, Qatar.
Jake Passmore returns to action
