An Olympic diver has endured a nightmarish start during the preliminary round of the women’s 3m springboard, when her feet collided with the board on the first dive, resulting in a score of 0.0.
“I hit my heels and my feet on the board,” she said, according to Reuters. “I have cuts along the sides, and then I bruised my right heel pretty good, but I was determined to keep going.” “One thing that I say is I hope that anyone who is watching just was able to see what it looks like to get up and keep going even when things don’t go the way you want them to. It’s about the fight,” said Gibson, who contemplated retirement following a last-place finish in the synchronized springboard event at the Tokyo Games in 2021.
