Mexican Divers Miss Olympic Podium by Inches
Mexican divers Kevin Berlín and Randal Willars narrowly missed the Olympic podium, finishing fourth in the 10m synchronized platform event. Despite a strong performance, they were edged out by the bronze medalists by just 3.48 points.
Mexican divers Kevin Berlín and Randal Willars were one step away from getting on the Olympic podium this Monday in the framework of the presentation of the Mexican national teams for the specialty in Paris 2024, after finishing in fourth place with 418.65 points in the 10-meter synchronized event, held at the Aquatic Center of the French capital.
Although the Mexican duo remained at all times in the competition with possibilities of obtaining the medal, they did not manage to establish themselves among the first three places in any of the six rounds and were punished lacking synchronicity in their fourth and fifth execution (three and a half turns back in B and four and a half turns forward in C), despite being the most difficult dives on their list presented, with a grade of 3.6 and 3.7, respectively.
