# Shin reaches men's 10m diving semifinals...all but secures Olympic berth

Shin Jung-hwi (22, Korea National Sports Promotion Organization) advanced to the semifinals of the men's 10-meter platform diving at the World Aquatics Championships.

His path to the Paris Olympics is clear.

Shin finished 12th out of 46 swimmers in the men's 10-meter platform preliminaries at the 2024 World Aquatics Championships on Monday at the Hamad Aquatic Center in Doha, Qatar, with a total of 379.85 points in the first through sixth heats.

The top 18 athletes, including Shin, will compete in the semifinals on Tuesday afternoon for the final 12 spots.

He has all but secured his spot in Paris.

The men's 10-meter platform is an Olympic event.

In diving, qualification for Paris is allocated to National Olympic Committees (NOCs) rather than individual athletes.

The International Swimming Federation has decided to allocate the individual diving berths for Paris as follows: 12 for the Fukuoka World Championships in 2023, up to five for each continental championship, and 12 for the Doha World Championships in 2024.

Each country can earn a maximum of two berths to the Paris Olympics in the men's 10-meter platform.

China and Great Britain earned two berths to the Paris Games in this event at last year's World Championships in Fukuoka and will not be able to add more at this event.

In Doha, four athletes, two from China and two from Great Britain, reached the [사설토토](https://www.totopick.pro) semifinals.

In addition, Mexico and Canada, who both earned one berth in Fukuoka, had two semifinalists in this event. Mexico and Canada can only add one additional ticket to the Olympic Games at this event.

In the end, "four athletes from China and Great Britain, and two athletes from Mexico and Canada" were eliminated from the list of qualifiers for Paris, so Shin's semifinal finish secured him a spot in the top 12 of athletes from countries that did not qualify for Paris.

While we'll have to wait for the final announcement from the International Swimming Federation, Shin has effectively given Korean diving one ticket to Paris.

The Korean Swimming Federation plans to give the ticket to the winner of the Olympic ticket to compete in Paris.

Kim Young-taek (22, Jeju Province), who qualified for Paris with an 11th-place finish in the men's 10-meter platform in Fukuoka last year, did not qualify for Doha.

With Shin's performance in Doha, Korea Diving earned both of its available qualification spots in the men's 10-meter platform individual event.

In today's qualifier, Qiao Yuan (29-China) topped the field with 503.80 points.

Qiao Yuan has won two individual gold medals at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro in 2016 (3-meter springboard) and Tokyo in 2021 (10-meter platform), but has only won three gold medals at the World Championships in synchro, a two-person event.

In Doha, she will be looking to win her first individual World Championship title.

Yang Hao (26-China) qualified second with 497.70 points.

North Korea's Kim Yong-sung, 22, qualified for the semifinals in eighth place with 416.60 points.
