He was second after his first dive and then botched his second and fifth dives, leaving him t far back to medal again.Im a little bit upset about that, but I think it is necessary to have this kind of failure and pain, Qiu said through a translator. This shows the value of the medal and the value of my dream.Tom Daley of Britain, who was third in London, surprisingly didnt make the final.
