    Chapeau Australia.

    There hopes of going for gold were pretty much blown the moment Alex Porter crashed after his handlebars fell off in qualifying.

    But what about that for a response. They set a new Olympic record as they almost catch Switzerland.

    Olympic bronze medal swimmer on BBC Radio 5 live

    Until Jack Laugher and Chris Mears came along five years ago, British diving had never got a gold medal at the Olympic games.

    He delivered that, he also got silver at that games as well and guess what, it is the full set with the bronze medal here.

    This was never a sure thing for Jack. He has had to battle all of the way. He has turned up here and done a great job. He should be very proud of that bronze medal.

    Well done Jack Laugher!

    Nothing from France and New Zealand to upset the Dutch and Australian teams.

    But what can Great Britain do?

    The word on the grapevine is that GB have been going very well in training – and in Jason Kenny they have someone who knows all about peaking for an Olympics.

    Kenny is Britain’s most successful Olympian (along with Sir Chris Hoy) with six golds and a silver.
