Aranza was hoping to secure herself a place in Friday’s (August 9) 3m springboard final with her performance,Uniladreported 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 perUnilad.
The La Paz native reportedly plummeted into the water, ending in an unnatural position on her back. Former BritishdiverLeon Taylor commented for the first time on theBBC: “Disastrous dive, you could tell that was going to happen.”

He continued: “She’s holding her hand up which means she wants to speak to the referee. If the referee thinks the complaint is valid he will allow a restart.
“Otherwise, if he doesn’t think it’s valid, a bit like the false starts inathletics,you can run under protest but there’s no such thing in diving.”
Leon added: “I don’t know what the complaint is so I can’t really comment on the validity of it. I didn’t see any flashes but I’m not on the diving board.
“It’s not really controversial, I think that’s OK from a decision.”

Upon drawing a blank on her fourth dive after plummeting awkwardly into the water, Aranza immediately stuck her hand in the air as she reportedly emerged from the water and demanded to speak to officials.
Despite protests from Aranza and her team, thediverwas reportedly unsuccessful with her appeal, and the judges stuck with the decision to award her zero points.
The referee was heard explaining that the noise from the crowd was not made during her dive.
The Mexican diver also scored 0.0 in the 3-meter springboard event on Thursday (August 8)
“I heard the noise before you walked,” the official said, as perEurosport.
Aranza was reportedly sitting in seventh place after three rounds with a score of 180.70, but she fell down the leaderboard to 18th after not adding to her total in the fourth round.
The Mexican diver finished in 16th place and, unsurprisingly, didn’t qualify for the final, scoring 248.20,Eurosportreported.
“Forwards, gone wrong, crash,” aEurosportcommentator said at the time of the competition. “She is grimacing here as she dives, she knows she is not going to make it.”
The commentator added: “If a diver immediately puts up their hand they’re signaling that they want to speak to the referee, she is protesting. My opinion is that wasn’t a failed dive.”
“She is heartbroken. As you can see, she is a good diver,” Jose Gomez Ruiz, press attaché of the Mexican Olympic delegation, toldReutersafter the event. “The only thing she asked me is ‘Please take me out of here.'”
“Right before the judge whistled, she hears a sound that distracts her and she fail(ed) to jump,” Jose toldReuters.

The jump did not pan out as planned. According to the rules, if a diver faults due to external interference, he is allowed to repeat it.
Aleksandr, who was leading the scoreboard, could simplify the routine, but knowing that the judges would be biased against him, he decided to demonstrate everything he was capable of, the Belarus Committee states.
And he did it right. The 614,970 points he scored in the final put him out of the reach of others.

Moments after the launch, Alison, who was in a tucked position coming out of a somersault at that point, hit the board with her feet.
Upon landing in the water, her performance was registered as a non-dive. After receiving zero points, the 25-year-old kept going and finished her remaining four dives with as much composure as she could muster, but she still finished last, marking the end of her Olympic journey.
She told reporters at the end of the competition: “I hit my heels and my feet on the board.

“I have cuts along the sides, and then I bruised my right heel pretty good, but I was determined to keep going.”
Alison reportedly said she “definitely was in pain,” but she kept going because she wanted to set an example to other young athletes who were watching.

Three judges focus on scoring the execution of only one individual diver of the pair, while a separate trio of judges focuses on the other individual diver. The remaining five judges score the pair’s synchronization.
Of the 11 total judges’ scores, five are used: the median execution score for Diver 1, the median execution score for Diver 2, and the middle three synchronization scores.
