Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix

Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix won her third medal of these Commonwealth Games on Monday in the mixed synchronised 10metre platform diving competition.

Usually we have Nationals but it’s just the parents of the divers that turn up. I’m really pleased with how we executed our dives and our overall synchro. It’s been really fun.”

The action at the Commonwealth Games ended in the afternoon with final medals for England and Scotland in squash. As things stand, the mixed synchro is not an Olympic event, which Spendolini-Sirieix and Williams say allowed them to relax and enjoy their final competitive moments of the Commonwealth Games slightly more. They even seized an entire podium for themselves, with Daniel Goodfellow, Jordan Houlden and Jack Laugher taking gold, silver and bronze in the men’s individual 3m springboard podium. This has been the best Games for England’s diving squad, which departed with 15 medals in total: six gold, four silver and five bronze. As she did in her individual exploits, they dominated the field, scoring 333.06 to win by 14.52 points ahead of Kothari and Toulson in an English one-two finish. Moments earlier, the breakthrough Games of the 17-year-old Spendolini‑Sirieix had a perfect conclusion as she paired up with Williams to win her second gold medal in the mixed synchro.

England’s men play South Africa in the hockey for the bronze medal, and after that, the Aussies and the Indians go for gold. So happy to do this with Grace, and to save it to the end is amazing. Already underway bright and early this morning it’s the final of the mixed doubles badminton. For England, a late drama: Jordan Houlden stepped in at the last minute to partner Yasmin Harper when MAtthew Dixon was injured. Decent dive, but more to the point, the English lad's trunks nearly came off in the water and he had to hoick them up. But an anxious wait too - there are still nine more pairs to go, including the Malaysians and the Australians. Fortunately for India, it's the fourth quarter so I think we can confidently chalk this one up to the gold and green. We had a great performance in Budapest and we carried that through to today. Squash veteran James Willstrop and partner James Declan won gold in the doubles. I made a decision to train even harder than I was over the last couple of months and it definitely worked. “Because it’s not in the Olympics, I think some people take it less seriously,” said Williams, of the mixed gender event. This was the first time mixed gender diving has been included in the Commonwealth Games.

They were the worst dives of the Commonwealth programme for England — four bellyflops — but it did not matter because their pairings had already won gold ...
