Mexico's Diving Duo Miss Out on Medal by a Whisker
Mexican divers Orozco and Agúndez narrowly missed the podium in the synchronized platform diving event at the Paris Olympics, finishing fifth. Despite a strong start, a crucial dive error cost them a medal.
Mexican divers Alejandra Orozco and Gabriela Agúndez finished in fifth place in the synchronized platform diving event, after scoring 297.66 points in the direct final of this competition within the framework of the third day of activities for the discipline at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, which are taking place at the Aquatic Center of the French capital.
Orozco and Agúndez, who arrived in the 'City of Light' with the background of having won the bronze medal in this same event in Tokyo 2020, on this occasion were just under seven points away from repeating the feat and getting into the medal zone.
