Australin diver Mathews into men’s Olympic 3m final

Australia’s Kurtis Mathews has produced a clutch last ***** to sneak into the men’s 3m springboard final at the Paris Olympics.

Marshall has qualified seventh of the eight finalists after nailing his final ***** in Wednesday’s semi-finals.

The 25-year-old produced a slick last effort – a forward four and a half somersaults – which returned his top score of the semis, 79.80.

That ***** lifted then Wodonga-born Marshall to 417.15 points and into Thursday’s medal round – China’s Zangyuan Wang (537.85) led the field.

In the women’s 3m springboard preliminaries, Australia’s Maddison Keeney advanced to the semi-final as the second-ranked diver.

Like Marshall, Keeney’s final ***** was her best – her forward two and a half somersaults and two twists reaped a score of 81.60.

Keeney (337.35) was bested only by China’s Yiwan Chen (356.50) in a confidence-boosting display for the Thursday semis.

Fellow *********** Alysha Koloi (276.60) was ranked 16th and also to progressed.

The women’s final will be held on Friday.
