McGing Bows Out of World Championships in Platform Preliminaries

Ireland’s Ciara McGing has ended her World Championships in the preliminary stages of the 10M Platform in Fukuoka, Japan this morning.

The 22-year-old completed the preliminaries on 244.90 in 28th place, her highest score coming for her opening dive, an inward 2 ½ somersaults with 56 points.

Speaking after her event McGing commented “I’m obviously disappointed with my dives this morning, it was a shame as I have been training and feeling good. I’m ready to take a break before I head back to the States (Ohio State University). I’m determined to put myself in a strong position for Doha. Thank you for all the support from home, you guys are deadly.”
