Timo Barthel (Halle / Saale) has missed the tower final of the water jumpers at the Olympic Games in Tokyo. The em-fourth landed in the semifinals with 364.50 points after six jumps only on the 17th place. Jaden Eikermann (Aachen), with 16 years of recent Olympic starters of the German Swimming Association (DSV), was eliminated on Friday as 21. in advance.
"That's what I have to sack," said Barthel, who had eighth after four goals, but decisively patzte at his fifth jump: "400 points would have been enough to go to the final." National coach Lutz Buschkov said, "Of course, a gross mistake must not happen, but the competition in the towering of men is too narrow."
Gold took Rio-Olympic champion Cao Yuan (582.35) in front of world champion Yang Jian (580.40). It was the seventh triumph of the Chinese water jumpers in the eighth and last competition in the Tokyo Aquatics Center. Only the British Thomas Daley and Matty Lee had broken the Phalanx in the synchronizer jumping from the tower.
With two bronze medals for the synchronous pairs Patrick Hausding / Lars Rüdiger and Tina Puntzel / Lena Hentschel for the DSV was highly satisfied: "That makes us proud. We have proven that we belong to the top nations in the world."
