Well octothorp was right. Blythe Hartley choked, and pretty much just confirmed her retirement. Quitter.

Yeah, I just see diving as a sport where it's really difficult to be consistent at the best of times and one bad jump can ruin any shot at the medals. And Hartley, she's got some amazing ability, but is more inconsistent than some of the other contenders. Combine that with the fact that expectations for Canada's diving program are really high based on past success, but now even Canada's best are in really tough to medal; it all just added up to a recipe for disappointment.
