Anastasia Gloushkov and Evgenia Tetelbaum have failed to qualify for the final of the Duets event in the synchronised swimming.
The pair finished their first exercise in the pool, on Sunday, in the Duets Free Routine – Preliminary, in 21st place, registering 78.900 points.
Returning to the pool on Monday afternoon, for the technical routine, they scored 23.3000 in the execution, 24.500 in the impression and 31.6488 in the elements, for a combined total of 79.4488, which coupled with Sunday’s score, saw them finish on 158.3488.
The top 12 countries – from the 24 participants – qualified for the final. Gloushkov was competing in her fourth Olympiad, though Tetelbaum, who moved to Israel from Ukraine in 2009, was taking part in her first.

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
