Lithuania has 12th best non-qualified diver in women's springboard. So we still have a smallest chance to qualify. Especially if other countries refuses their given quotas (like South Africa). The result was achieved by Genevieve Green Angerame, originally she born under name Akvilė, but was adopted by American-Lithuanian family in US. It was her first ever start under Lithuanian flag.

I hope that she will qualify. We never had a competitor in diving at Olympics. 

Just a pitty that she missed one dive, where she scored around 20 points. If that dive was anything like the others (which were in 50s and 60s) she would 100% be in Rio.

Well, that's good news; however, in other competitions organized by FINA, they have to compete as independent athletes, like this weekend in Dubai.
