Divers Gabriela Agúndez and Alejandra Orozco concluded their participation with fifth and eighth place in the individual platform event, after adding 350.40 and 320.60 points, respectively, in a competition held at the Paris Aquatic Center and with which they say goodbye to the Olympic Games.

Agúndez, who obtained fourth place in Tokyo 2020, once again came close to a place on the podium during Tuesday's competition, particularly after the second round of the final, in which she had the best-rated jump, after executing the three and a halfback flips in position C with scores of 8.0; however, in the rest of the diving rounds, she failed to place among the medalists.
