Olympic bronze medalist Lena Hentschel was eliminated at the start of the swimming world championships when she jumped from the 1m board. Jette Müller reached the final.
The 19-year-old water jumper from Rostock took eighth place in the prelim on Friday (07/14/2023) in Fukuoka, Japan, with 242.00 points and thus qualified for the final of the 1m board. At her World Cup premiere last year in Budapest, Müller jumped to seventh place.
Hentschel retired
