Bronze for Daley and Goodfellow in China

Tom Daley and Daniel Goodfellow picked up a medal in their preparation for the Commonwealth Games at the FINA Diving World Series in China.

They finished third on the opening day of the competition, in Beijing, to take bronze in the 10m synchronised platform after scoring 400.68 points.

Daley, 23, and 21-year-old Goodfellow, who won the Olympic bronze medal at the 2016 Games in Rio, were second going into their final dive, which was the most difficult in their programme.

They could only score 62.16 for the forward 4.5 somersault in tuck position which allowed the Ukranian pair of Oleksandr Gorshkovozov and Maksym Dolgov, who finished on 417.93 points, to take the silver medal.

China’s Chen Aisen and Yang Hao took the gold medal on 484.29 points.
