Dixon and Lee cruise into 10m showdown

12 Aug 2018

Great Britain's Matthew Dixon and Matty Lee made light work of the morning prelims session of the Men's 10m Platform at the European Championships 2018.

Leeds-based Lee finished off a strong competition list with new dive in the final round, a Back 3 1/2 Somersaults Piked which scored 55.80. His final score was 458.55 and that meant he ranked second after the six rounds of diving.

"My dives were ok, but there are still things I can polish up and improve for the final. The main job was getting through to the final and that's what I've done so I'm happy," said Lee.

Teammate Dixon, who trains in Plymouth, finished seventh which 423.20 to book himself into the final.

The British pair will be joined by 10 other divers from around Europe for the final event of the European Diving Championships.
