Canada fought until the very last dive, but ultimately it wasn’t enough.

Finishing with a final score of 299.22 points, Canada’s Caeli McKay and Kate Miller finished fourth in the Olympic women’s synchro 10-metre platform diving event, failing to surpass Great Britain, who moved into third after a beautiful fifth and final dive.

China’s Chen Yuxi and Quan Hongchan earned a dominant gold with a final score of 359.10 — beating the silver medal-winners by a whopping 43.2 points. North Korea’s Kim Mi-Rae and Jo Jin-Mi won the silver with a score of 315.90, while the British pair of Lois Toulson and Andrea Spendolini Sirieix nabbed bronze with 304.38.

McKay, from Calgary, and Miller, from Ottawa, were looking to win Canada’s second medal in synchronized diving these Olympic Games — and second for the event in Canada’s history.

McKay, 25, was emotional after the finish.

“Fourth place is the hardest place to get, at an Olympics especially, but I think it will make (Miller, 19,) stronger for the rest of her career,” McKay told CBC Olympics.

Canada has now finished fourth in four events at the Olympics.

Nathan Zsombor-Murray and Rylan Wiens took home Canada’s first-ever medal in synchronized diving when they won bronze on Monday at the 10-metre platform diving event.

Canada finished in fourth place in the women’s synchronized 10-meter platform event at the recent international diving competition. The event, which took place in a packed aquatic center, showcased some of the best synchronized diving teams from around the world.

The Canadian duo put on a strong performance, executing their dives with precision and grace. They received high scores from the judges for their synchronization and technique, but ultimately fell just short of the podium.

Despite narrowly missing out on a medal, the Canadian team should be proud of their performance. Competing at such a high level requires years of training and dedication, and their hard work was evident in their performance.

Synchronized diving is a unique and challenging sport that requires perfect timing, coordination, and trust between teammates. The Canadian team demonstrated all of these qualities in their performance, and their fourth-place finish is a testament to their skill and determination.

While they may not have taken home a medal this time, the Canadian team will no doubt use this experience as motivation to continue improving and striving for success in future competitions. With their talent and drive, there is no doubt that they will be a force to be reckoned with in the world of synchronized diving for years to come.
