Dhabitah advances to Olympic 3m springboard final

KUALA LUMPUR: Diver Nur Dhabitah Sabri can afford a smile after checking into the women's 3m springboard final at the Tokyo Olympics.

The 22-year-old was a picture of consistency as she tallied a 312.60 total to finish sixth in the semi-final at the Olympic Aquatic Centre on Saturday.

Only the top 12 from the 18-diver semi-final qualified for Sunday's final.

This will be Dhabitah's second final appearance at the Olympics. She made the final of the 10m platform individual at the Rio de Janeiro Games in 2016, where she finished ninth.

Defending champion Shi Tingmao of China topped the semi-final with 371.45 points, followed by compatriot Wang Han (346.85) and Canada's Jennifer Abel (341.40).
