After learning that the attempted plunge hadn’t gravely hurt her, viewers wasted no time expressing their worry on social media.
On X, someone posted, “Glad she’s okay and was able to walk out,” while another expressed amazement that such incidents didn’t occur more often.
“Surprised this doesn’t happen more often, even at their level, in the other events some were skimming platforms on the way down, so dangerous,” according to them.
Chen Yiwen of China won yesterday’s preliminary, while Grace Reid and Yasmin Harper of Team GB also qualified. Earlier today,
the semi-final was finished, and Chen is again in the lead again. Additionally, Reid and Harper have secured their spots in tomorrow’s final.
