The winner was washed away after a "dolphin dive" - ​​but the gold still went to the USA

- I am proud that I was second in the finish and will accept the gold because we want the USA to remain at the top.

But it does not feel like a victory.

Justin beat me fairly, I do not know what he was washed for but he deserved to win, Hunter Armstrong told SVT Sport after the finish.

It later emerged, however, that the reason for the disqualification was that Ress had finished the race with a small dive.

No part of his upper body was above the water at the finish, which goes against the rules.

- It was a snack ice already yesterday about his finish after the semifinals.

But it is unfortunate, of course, for Ress that his World Cup gold will disappear, says SVT's reporter on site Maria Wallberg.
