Daley and Couch add to medals at Diving World Series

21 Mar 2015

Tom Daley and Tonia Couch won two more medals for Great Britain on the final day of the FINA/NVC World Diving Series in Dubai.

Daley (London Aquatics) split the Chinese divers to take silver in the Men’s 10m Platform with a score of 578.25. Daley scored perfect 10s for his inward, three-and-a-half somersault routine to put himself in first place with three rounds to go. In the end gold went to China’s Qui Bo with a score of 612.75 while bronze went to Yang Jian with 563.90.

Couch lead for the first two rounds of dives in the Women’s 10m Platform event before China’s strength began to emerge. Gold eventually went to Chen Ruolin with a score of 386.05, silver went to Liu Huixia with 370.70 and Couch scored 367.70.

The British team, including Jack Laugher who won the Men’s 3m Springboard event yesterday, will now set their sights on next month’s World Series leg in Kazan, Russia before the series returns to the London Aquatic Centre in May.
