The 30-year-old, who had finished fourth at the Apparatus World Cup in Baku last month, once again missed out on a medal by a whisker after coming up with a score of 13.333. Navas Karla (13.850) claimed the gold medal, while An Chang Ok (13.833) and Georgieva Valentina (13.466) won the silver and bronze, respectively.

Dipa thus failed to qualify for the Paris Games in vault. The Asian Championships, scheduled to be held in Uzbekistan in May, are the final Olympics qualifying event.
