Read our privacy policy Jack Laugher admitted it was an “extraordinary relief” to secure bronze in the men’s synchronised 3m springboard final alongside partner Anthony Harding. He said: “For me, it was just an extraordinary amount of relief to absolutely nail the last dive and I knew that was basically going to solidify us at least on the podium for bronze.” Their medal means Team GB have secured a clean sweep in all of the synchronised diving competitions, picking up a total of one silver and three bronze medals across all four events. “What we’ve achieved as a team is wonderful, especially with the girls, that first medal on that first day I think really set us off in good stead to continue on. “We knew we could as well, so a really wonderful day and one to cherish forever.” There was also added personal pressure on Laugher, whose girlfriend Lois Toulson won bronze in the women’s synchronised 10m platform event alongside Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix.
