    Final dive: Powell and Couch

Also see

Stacie Powell and Tonia Couch made some history in the individual women's 10m platform as they ensured Great Britain had two divers in the final for the first time.

The duo had started the semi-final in 12th and 14th places respectively but needed to make sure they finished in the top 12 to ensure a place in the final.

Powell left it late, pulling out a score of 62.90 on her final dive to squeeze into the final in 12th place.

Couch also made it through in the final of the 12 places available for the final - the first time ever two GB female divers have contested an individual final.
