Your predictions of diving are a little ridiculous and show your lack of knowledge in the sport. Blythe is ranked 4th in the world in 3m springboard. I'm not sure how placing 3rd in prelims exceeds your expectations. This year alone, Blythe has won two silver medals in World Cup Competitions. Yes, she fell back in the semi-finals, but those scores are irrelevant. She qualified for the final and that is all that matters because everyone starts again from 0. Scores mean nothing now. In the semi-finals, Blythe missed her third dive and it affected her score. But she still qualified. Blythe is one of the strongest and most powerful women divers in the world and her performance in the semi-finals has no bearing on her performance in the finals.
Also, there is no 3m platform event. Alex Despatie will be competing 3m springboard.
