Major disappointment for Despatie

Posted By: Barry Morgan · 8/7/2012 3:56:00 PM

Laval's Alexandre Despatie closed out his Olympic career with a dive he'd like to forget. 

Needing to score big on his sixth and final dive of the three-metre springboard competition, his attempt at a forward two-and-a-half somersault with two twists went horribly wrong and judges awarded him a dive score of just 22.10.

He finished 11th overall in a 12-man event.
