Daryn Wright of Plainfield, Indiana, was added to the team after World Aquatics awarded the Americans a second spot in women's 10-meter platform.
"It has been a long four days, but thankfully it came out on top with the good news," the 20-year-old Wright said Thursday after learning she was headed to her first Summer Games."I'm pretty much just shocked right now to say the least.

To fill out the allotment, additional places can be reallocated to the next-highest placing federations from the 2024 world championships that had not yet qualified.
