Shin Jeong-hwi (22, Korea Sports Promotion Foundation) advanced to the semifinals of the men’s 10m platform diving event at the World Aquatics Championships.
The road to the Paris Olympics was also opened.
Shin Jeong-hwi earned a total of 379.85 points from the first to sixth periods in the 2024 World Championships men’s 10m platform preliminaries held at the Hamad Aquatic Center in Doha, Qatar on the 9th, ranking 12th out of 46 people. 동행복권파워볼
The top 18 players, including Shin Jeong-hwi,
will compete in the semifinals on the afternoon of the 10th to compete for a spot in the finals (12 people).
They also virtually secured the right to participate in the Paris Olympics.
The men’s 10m platform is an official Olympic event.
In diving, qualifications for the Paris Olympics are distributed to the National Olympic Committee (NOC) rather than to individual athletes.
The International Aquatics Federation has decided that the method of distributing qualifications for the Paris Olympics for the individual diving event will be ’12 tickets for the 2023 Fukuoka World Championships,
a maximum of 5 tickets for each continental championship, and 12 tickets for the 2024 Doha World Championships.’
Each country can obtain a maximum of two tickets to the Paris Olympics in the men’s 10m platform.
China and Great Britain secured two spots for the Paris Olympics in this event at last year’s Fukuoka World Championships,
so they cannot add an additional Olympic spot for this event.
In Doha, a total of four players, two from China and the UK, advanced to the semifinals.
In addition, Mexico and Canada, which secured one spot in the Fukuoka competition,
produced two semifinalists in this competition.
Mexico and Canada can only add one ticket to the Olympics in this competition.
