Yahoo Autos A Canadian diver who scored a 0 with a feet-first flop with the finals on the line said she wasn't going to give up
The Canadian diver Pamela Ware scored a 0.0 with a feet-first dive in the Olympics.
The failed dive knocked Ware out of competition for the event final.
In an emotional video, Ware said she made a mistake but would not give up.
The Canadian diver Pamela Ware experienced a worst-case scenario for any diver at the Tokyo Olympics.
Competing in the women's 3-meter springboard semifinal, Ware had a misstep on her approach that forced her to bail out of her last dive and jump feet-first into the water.
Worse, Ware was competing for the final. One TV announcer noted during Ware's approach that Ware was attempting a dive with a 3.5 difficulty, the most difficult of the competition to that point. The other announcer said, "This dive could be spectacular!"
As Ware left the board, she clearly did not have her rhythm down and instead attempted something akin to a backyard plunge.
"That's what pressure can do," one of the announcers said, noting that Ware would not score a point on the attempt.
