Maddison Keeney (AUS) was sitting in 4th place after four rounds, then the unexplainable happened in the final round, dropping her in last place.
I think she did a great job of avoiding a belly flop.
Her weight was way too far forward over the tip of the board. There’s no way she could have completed the dive had she attempted it. That huge hopscotch hurdle that most of the women are using allows for huge amplitude, but the potential for that kind of thing is greater as well.
