Shin Jung-hwi (23, Korea Sports Promotion Foundation), a member of the national diving team who is competing in his first Olympics, barely managed to secure a ticket to the semifinals.
Shin Jung-hwi received a total of 369.20 points from his first to sixth attempts in the men’s 10m platform preliminaries for the ‘2024 Paris Olympics’ held at the Paris Aquatics Center in Saint-Denis, France at 5 p.m. on the 9th (Korean time).
A total of 26 people competed, and the top 18 advanced to the semifinals. Shin Jung-hwi finished the preliminaries in 17th place, narrowly advancing to the semifinals.
Shin Jung-hwi, who qualified for the Paris Olympics by advancing to the semifinals of the 2024 Doha World Aquatics Championships last April, succeeded in advancing to the semifinals at this competition as well. At the
Doha World Aquatics Championships, he placed 18th in the semifinals.
In the preliminary competition on this day, Shin Jung-hwi had been ranked in the top 20 for the first four rounds, staying below the semifinals qualification line. In
the fifth round, Shin Jung-hwi performed a handstand and three backward rotations (626C) with a difficulty level of 3.3 cleanly, earning 64.35 points and moving up to 18th place. In the final sixth round, Shin Jung-hwi performed a difficulty level 3.2 movement (5253B) with two and a half backward rotations and one and a half twists, earning 67.20 points, the highest score of his performance of the day. Shin Jung-hwi, who had been unable to leave the stadium even after his turn was over and had been watching the performances of other athletes, left the stadium with a smile only after confirming his advancement to the semifinals. Shin Jeong-hwi will challenge for the finals at 5 p.m. on the 10th. Meanwhile, Kim Young-taek (23, Jeju Special Self-Governing Province), who also competed in this event, received a total of 320.40 points in 6 rounds, ranking 24th overall, and failed to advance to the semifinals. 파워볼사이트
