    Team GB divers Jack Laugher (pictured) and Jordan Houlden cruised through the preliminary round of the Olympic men's 3m springboard.

    Needing to be in the top 18 to reach the semi-finals, Laugher finished third with a score of 468.30 and Houlden a place behind with 448.20.

    Laugher achieved the highest score for any individual dive - and one of only two dives to top 90 points - lending credence to his quest to add another medal to the bronze he won in the synchronised 3m springboard earlier in the Olympics.

    Tokyo silver medallist Wang Zongyuan was top qualifier with 530.65, while Chinese compatriot and defending champion Xie Siyi came second with 509.60.

    The semi-finals are scheduled for 09:00 BST on Wednesday.

    Great Britain's Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix qualified for the women's Olympic individual 10m platform final in Paris but synchro partner Lois Toulson missed out.

    Spendolini-Sirieix, 19, scored an impressive 367.00 to qualify in third place for Tuesday's final but Toulson had an off day and, despite saving her best dive until last, finished in 13th place with 278.50.

    Toulson, 24, was 14.30 points off the qualification places with the top 12 advancing.

    The British pair have already won bronze in the women's synchronised 10m platform.

    Chinese divers Quan Hongchan and Chen Yuxi qualified in first and second place, respectively.

  21. Daley mind games before diving event?

    Tom Daley has been speaking about the diving competition at Paris 2024 and the prospect of trying to beat the Chinese swimmers to gold, as he did in Tokyo.

    I cannot work out whether Daley's comments are innocent or if he is trying to throw down the gauntlet to China and ramp up the pressure.

    The context is that China have won seven out of eight diving golds at each of the past two Olympics.

    "The Chinese diving team is the strongest diving nation unquestionably," said Daley, who will compete in the 10m platform event with Noah Williams.

    "On paper you would consider them to win every single event but it is the Olympic Games.

    "I know every single one of the Chinese divers knows it is their competition to lose, which brings a lot pressure and expectation.

    "You go into a competition with a different mindset if you know you could and should win."
