Diving at the 2022 Commonwealth Games

England's Jack Laugher edged out Australia's Li Shixin in the men's 1m springboard, while Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix triumphed in front of father Fred ...

At the World Championships in June, Laugher departed with three medals, his greatest haul. For his fourth dive, he spectacularly executed his inverted two and a half piked somersault, the hardest dive in his arsenal, which moved him to first place. Laugher had struggled in the preliminary round in the afternoon, feeling his nerves as he qualified in fourth place. After the win in Birmingham, she said: “I’m very, very happy. After winning bronze on the 3m springboard at the Olympics last year, Laugher told the world that he was back, and he has backed up those words. As the veteran Li Shixin of Australia finished with silver, England’s Jordan Houlden took an excellent bronze in his first Commonwealth Games.

Stone has booked a place in the final of the men's 1m springboard at the Commonwealth Games, finishing a comfortable seventh in qualifying.

"I didn't feel done yet. With the pressure seemingly gone, Stone then came out with his best dive of the final, scoring 69.00 with a reverse two-and-a-half somersaults before wrapping up his competition with a forward two-and-a-half somersaults with a twist. After a conservative opening with a forward two-and-a-half somersaults - dive rated with a difficulty of just 2.6 - scored him 59.80, the 25-year-old responded with two dives in the 60s to sit fifth at the midway point of the competition.

"It's amazing, especially for it to be in a home Games - and the first time I've actually had a crowd, because I didn't have one at Tokyo 2020 and the other internationals I've done. "I was peaceful." "It was about not getting too ahead of myself, and not reminiscing on the misses." "I knew that I still had it fairly under control; I knew I could still attain a good score. "With Jordan, his first two dives were amazing but they are high-difficulty dives and when executed well, which he did, obviously that puts a lot of points on the board. "[It was] a great performance, very steady - a few mistakes here and there but I'm really happy, and to do it in front of a home crowd makes it that little bit sweeter," said Laugher.
