Gallantree and Laugher impress in Diving World Series

Rebecca Gallantree and Jack Laugher only just missed out on medals as Great Britain continued to impress on day two of the Diving World Series in Dubai.

In a strong 3m springboard final line-up that included London 2012 silver medallist Zi He of China and Italian Tania Cagnotto, Gallantree didn’t let the competition faze her.

The 29-year old performed six consistent dives and finished just off the podium in fourth with 327.90 points.

Laugher was very strong in the men’s 3m Springboard semi-final, qualifying third with 487.95 points. And after four dives in the final Laugher remained in a medal winning position, with his front two-and-a-half somersaults two twists piked scoring him 86.70 points.

But after a bad landing to his front four-and-a-half somersaults tucked dive, the 19-year old finished the competition in sixth place.
