The pair were third after the first two rounds but dropped out of medal contention on Sunday in Tokyo.

Edinburgh’s Reid and Croydon’s Torrance finished with 269.10 points, ahead of Italy and the USA, but well behind the 326.40 of winners China.

A disappointing back two-and-a-half somersault pike in the fourth round effectively ended their medal chances as Canada claimed silver and Germany bronze.
