Gay Australian diver Matthew Mitcham failed to make the finals of the men’s 3m springboard competition at the Beijing Olympics on Tuesday.

Mitcham finished 16th out of the 18 divers in the semi-final, with only the top 12 divers going through to the final round.

His teammate Robert Newbery made the final round with an 11th place finish in the preliminaries.
Mitcham still has a chance at a diving medal on Friday in his strongest event, the men’s 10m platform. The preliminary rounds will be held on Friday night.

Australia’s other out athlete competing in Beijing, Renee Stubbs and tennis partner Samantha Stosur beat the Czech Republic in straight sets in the Tennis Women’s Doubles first round, but lost two sets to one against Spain in round two.
