This bronze medal is City of Leeds diver Laugher’s fourth Olympic medal, as the 29-year-old won a gold and a silver at Rio 2016 and a bronze in Tokyo in 2021. 

But it is the first Olympic medal for his 24-year-old partner Harding.

China claimed the top prize with 446.10 points, closely followed by Mexico which took silver with 444.03 points. 

Laugher is set to represent Team GB in the men’s 3m springboard on Tuesday, August 6 at 9am.
