[[Ramon Fumado]] badly missed his first dive of the semifinal, a forward 1½ somersault in the pike position, scoring an average of around 3.0 points. A dive in the 8.0s would have put him very close to qualifying for the final.

[[Octavio Mejías]] missed only one lift in the 77&nbsp;kg division, but his weights were nowhere near those of the leaders.
