Great Britain won three silver medals at the Diving World Cup in Montreal.

Tom Daley, Anthony Harding, Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix and Yasmin Harper scored 438.05 to finish second in the mixed team event on Friday.

Spendolini-Sirieix claimed a silver on Saturday alongside Lois Toulson with a score of 301.14 in the women’s 10m synchronised.

Jack Laugher and Anthony Harding finished second in the men’s 3m synchronised.

China won gold in all three events. Quan Hongchan and Chen Yuxi won the women’s 10m synchronised, while Long Daoyi and Wang Zongyuan took gold in the men’s 3m synchronised.

Noah Williams was seventh and fellow Briton Kyle Kothari eighth in the men’s 10m platform, won by China’s Yao Hang.

Britain’s Mew Jensen and Grace Reid were seventh and eighth respectively in the women’s 3m springboard as China’s Chen Yiwen took gold.

Daley and Spendolini-Sirieix were part of the GB team that won gold with Daniel Goodfellow and Scarlett Mew Jensen at the World Aquatics Championships last month.

That was Daley’s first international competition in two years. He took a break from the sport after winning gold at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics in the 10m synchronised.

The 29-year-old is in line to compete at his fifth Olympics in Paris this summer.
