Second sentance, say about note 136 athletes. 26 / 27 athletes (12+12+2/3 continental) gives you more athlethes with synchro +64 than 136

Some of the synchro athletes doubled up with individual, so I don't know if 64 is the correct number

Nearly half of them must be double to make 12 athletes from World Champs

In my oppinion, it is also important text "12 highest placing athletes" but not "12 highest placing athletes among the non-qualified".

So only the 12 finalists are taken into account at this stage. And a lot of them will have quotas from the previous events.

Thus in real life no overquota (>136) is expected at the WC.

Yes, this is an important note, thanks.

So basically to be a contender for the quota athlete needs to finish at 21st place or higher.

Not yet, she still has synchro with Nur Sabri

But unfortunate that we won’t see her in the individual women’s 10m event

P.S. it’s Pamg not Pang.

If she was a possible medalist, she should have been able to at least make the semi-finals here and/or at Fukuoka and she was nowhere near. As it is her scores have only been heading in 1 direction over the last couple of seasons.

Hopefully she can encourage the next generation of Malaysian divers but the days when she was a potential medalist are in all likelihood over.
