Brazil diver badly misses somersault, flops into pool (video)
Brazilian diver badly misses somersault, flops into pool A Brazilian diver appeared to take a bad step on the board, leading to an ugly dive and a nasty fall into the pool.Brazil’s already guaranteed Olympic synchronized diving spots as the host nation, so a painful miss at the FINA World Cup women’s synchro springboard final on Saturday could be laughed off.
Tammy Takagi and Juliana Veloso scored zero points with a failed dive in the last round of the international Olympic qualifying event in Rio de Janeiro.
They finished 12th out of 12 pairs.
Also in the event, Americans Abby Johnston and Laura Ryan finished eighth, missing an Olympic berth for the U.S. by one spot.
