Video: Aussie diving shocker at World Champs

Maddison Keeney

By Matt Burrows

Auckland-born diver Maddison Keeney has made a bit of a splash at the World Aquatic Championships in Russia – but not in the way she'd hoped.

The 19-year-old was well-placed to earn herself a medal going into her last dive of the women's one-metre platform final, but nerves got the better of her in a dive that only an amateur would be proud of.

The Australian failed to register a score for her final dive, completely ruining her chance of a podium finish as she plummeted to last place.
