BEIJING, Aug 15 (Bernama) -- Leong Mun Yee and Elizabeth Jimie failed to advance into the semifinals of the women's 3m springboard.
They shared 21st spot after the preliminary five rounds on 253.50 points in a field of 30 divers dominated by Chinese dive queen Guo Jingjing who scored 373.90s.
Only the top 18 qualify for the semifinals.
Mun Yee was marked 54 points in her opening dive for 17th position. She was overall 18th and 20th in the second and third round respectively.
But she lost her composure to slip to 30th in the fourth dive scoring only 33 points.
It was too big a gap to close although she finished strongly with an inward two and a half somersault in the fifth and final jump for 64 points.
"I was not confident in the third and fourth," said the 24-year-old in wrapping up her third Olympics.
Elizabeth scored 48, 54, 42, 52 and 57 in her dives to move from 25th spot to finish four rungs up
Malaysia's two other divers, Bryan Lomas and Pandelela Rinong will take to the men's and women's 10m platform on Wednesday.
