Ripon’s Jack Laugher loses Olympic title in Tokyo

Ripon’s Olympic hero Jack Laugher has missed out on his bid to win a second successive gold in the synchronised three-metre springboard diving.

Laugher and partner Daniel Goodfellow finished seventh in this morning’s event, which was won by China.

The duo from the City of Leeds Club triumphed at the Tokyo Aquatics Centre in May at the FINA Diving World Cup. But they were unable to replicate the same form in the same pool today.

Laugher, who grew up in the Ripon area and attended Cathedral Church of England Primary and Ripon Grammar School will now focus on the men’s individual three-metre springboard event, which takes place on Monday and Tuesday next week.

Laugher remains a Ripon hero, having become the first GB diver to win gold and silver medals at an Olympic games.
