Jane Smith’s Olympics ended in disappointment today when she failed to reach the final of the women’s three-metre springboard.
Smith, 28, finished 15th overall this morning, with only the top 12 going through to tonight’s final.
The double bronze medallist from the one and three-metre springboard events at the Manchester Commonwealth Games scored just 483.75, some 20 points short of making the final.
Smith went close to a medal on the opening day of the Games when she teamed up with Leeds’ Tandi Gerrard to take fourth place in the three-metre synchro event.

Britain’s diving hopes now rest on Peter Waterfield and Leon Taylor who compete in tomorrow’s platform event.
They won gold and silver respectively in at the Commonwealth Games and will be hoping to add to the silver they won in the platform synchro two weeks ago.
Taylor and Waterfield were Team GB’s first medallists of the Games and ended a 44-year medals famine for British diving.
