Ireland’s Ciara McGing has ended her World Championships in the preliminary stages of the 10M Platform in Fukuoka, Japan this morning.

The 22-year-old completed the preliminaries on 244.90 in 28th place, her highest score coming for her opening dive, an inward 2 ½ somersaults with 56 points.

Speaking after her event McGing commented “I’m obviously disappointed with my dives this morning, it was a shame as I have been training and feeling good. I’m ready to take a break before I head back to the States (Ohio State University). I’m determined to put myself in a strong position for Doha. Thank you for all the support from home, you guys are deadly."
