"My third dive was a bit of a miss for me. "Today, I was pushed. "I do my list in a different order. It was about not getting too ahead of myself, and not reminiscing on the misses. He said: "My grandma unfortunately passed away a couple of months ago. She was my biggest supporter."

He said: "I mean Jordan, his first two dives were amazing don't get me wrong, but they are a high degree of difficulty dives," He added: “When executed well, which he did, that obviously puts a lot of points on the board, whereas I do my list in a different order, I do my easy ones first and I kind of rank up the difficulty as it goes along. "It's a great, great performance, very steady, a few mistakes here and there but really, really happy with everything, and to do it in front of a home crowd obviously makes it a little more sweeter." Commonwealth Games gold for Harrogate diver Jack Laugher

England's Jack Laugher produced three nerveless and near-faultless final dives to clinch 1m springboard gold for a third successive Commonwealth Games.

“My advice is to talk to friends and family about how you feel.” In the build-up to the Games, Houlden had described a medal as “unlikely”, and yet after three of six rounds he was leading the final – so clean were his opening two high-difficulty dives that he got away with a more ragged third. A few moments later Li earned exactly the same score from exactly the same dive to secure silver. What an achievement to win three Commonwealth Games in a row.” “I just need to let go and enjoy myself,” he said ahead of the final, and he certainly did that. He qualified for the final earlier on Thursday in a surprisingly edgy fourth place, a result he put down to nerves in front of a passionate home crowd which divers don’t experience too often on the regular circuit.

The 27-year-old successfully defended his one-metre springboard title for the third successive Games.

“It’s been incredible, I’ve had so much fun. It’s amazing for it to be on home soil, a home games, the first time that I’ve actually had a crowd because I didn’t have one at Tokyo and at the other internationals I’ve done I haven’t really had a big crowd. The 27-year-old claimed gold in 2014 at Glasgow and on the Gold Coast in 2018 but was able to seal this one in front of a home crowd.
