SYNCHRONISED 3m SPRINGBOARD MEN'S - FINAL - European Championships - Glasgow - 10th August 2018

Jack Laugher's chance to re-create his Commonwealth Games Triple Crown Gold were dashed by just 0.54 of a point to Russia's dream team of Ilia Zakharov and Evgenii Kuznetsov.
Russia outperformed Great Britain's Laugher-Mears first two dives until a poor execution of the Back 3 - 1/2 Somersaults in Russia's third dive.
The final dive saw Russia lead the diving with a great performance while the Laugher-Mears team lacked precision in their execution of the Forward 4-1/2 Somersaults which cost them dearly.
Germany's Patrick Hausding and Lars Ruediger took bronze despite 29 year old Hausding complaining of aches and pains affecting his performance.
