Laugher won silver with a total of 504.30. Chong took gold in 521.85 points and the bronze went to Illya Kvasha (Ukraine) with a final score of 498.05.

Hannah Starling and Alicia Blagg finished in fourth and sixth place respectively in their 3m Springboard semi final. Starling scored 311.15 while Blagg took 276.95 points.
