Abel, who had previously qualified for the Games with Citrini-Beaulieu in the three-metre synchro event, is heading to her fourth Olympics. Abel and Émilie Heymans teamed up to win bronze in the 3m synchro at the 2012 London Games.

Ware made her Olympic debut at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, where she and Abel just missed the 3m synchro platform, finishing fourth.

Fofana won the men’s 3m with a final score of 842.40, claiming the sole Olympic qualification spot.

The 17-year-old from Montreal will make his Olympic debut in Tokyo.

Francois Imbeau-Dulac of St-Lazare, Que., finished second with 819.90 points while Calgary’s Thomas Ciprick scored 782.55 for third.
