MALAYSIA'S 2012 London Olympics campaign came to an end when diver Bryan Nickson Lomas just missed out on a place in the 10m platform semi-final at the Aquatic Centre on Friday.
The nation, having experienced a high when Pandelela Rinong delivered a bronze in the women's 10 platform, would have been expecting three-time Olympian Bryan to keep the Malaysian challenge going in London but it was not to be.
Bryan, who was Malaysia's flag-bearer at the 2004 Athens Olympics at the tender age of 14, finished 19th in the preliminary round with only the top 18 divers advancing.
Bryan scored 434.95, losing out to to 18th placed American David Boudia who registered 439.15 to seal the 18th semi-final spot.
The 22-year-old's exit means Malaysia will finish the Games with a haul of one silver and one bronze - thanks to shuttler Lee Chong Wei and Pandelela.
