Team Mexico Diver Scores 0 Just After American Athlete Crashes On Springboard At The Olympics

CBC Eurosport Bored Panda Leon Taylor Olympics NBC Olympics UNILAD

Is the springboard at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games cursed? Following Team USA Alison Gibson’s crash, which landed her a score of zero, team Mexico Aranza Vazquez saw her Olympic dreams quickly dissolve into a nightmare. The Mexican diver also scored 0.0 in the 3-meter springboard event on Thursday (August 8).

Aranza was hoping to secure herself a place in Friday’s (August 9) 3m springboard final with her performance, Unilad reported on Thursday. The 21-year-old was off to a good start, sitting seventh after her third dive.

However, on her fourth dive of the day, Aranza reportedly attempted a couple of backward somersaults at a difficulty level of 3.0, but she appeared to misjudge her takeoff, as per Unilad.
