Description:
Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix won the women's 10-metre platform final at the British Diving Championships to qualify for that event at the Paris Olympics. <br/><br/>The 19-year-old diver, daughter of celebrity chef Fred Sirieix, won with a score of 363.7 points.<br/><br/>'I'm elated,' she told the BBC. 'Thank you for all the support and I give glory to God. <br/><br/>'I just kept on pushing through that competition.'<br/><br/>Her father posted on X: 'Well done Andrea.' <br/><br/>She added: 'I like to have my coach with me [between dives] just because he helps get my head out of my head. I like to listen to some gospel music just to re-center myself and just enjoy the competition.' <br/><br/>Asked what her goal is, she said: 'To enjoy myself! We'll see what happens in Paris but I just want to enjoy it.'<br/><br/>Lois Toulson came in second with 335.90 with Eden Cheng in third managed 327.75. <br/><br/>This was the key event in the qualification run for Paris for both the 3m and 10m diving competitions. <br/><br/>Spendolini-Sirieix won the event and achieved a pre-set points tally in both the preliminaries and final, meaning a second place is available also. <br/><br/>Jack Laugher claimed first in the men's 3m at the Sandwell Aquatics Centre to make himself the prime candidate to be selected for that event in Paris. <br/><br/>The 29-year-old came fourth in the preliminaries but won the final with 507.20 points, ahead of Jordan Houlden on 476.20 points and Dan Goodfellow, who scored 471.60.<br/><br/>'The first three are my easier dives and, if I do them well, I know I'm in good stead for the final three,' said Laugher.<br/><br/>'A little wobble on my fourth but fifth and sixth were really good so I'm very happy.'<br/><br/>Spendolini-Sirieix were already going to Paris for Team Great Britain as they had been chosen among the synchronized pairings.
