Great Britain claims first ever diving gold Jack Laugher and Chris Mears wrote their names in the history books as they became Great Britain’s first ever Olympic diving champions with gold in the synchronised 3m springboard. The British pair stunned world champions China with a sublime series of dives, taking the lead in the third round and holding on to clinch the title on 454.32. They finished ahead of USA duo Sam Dorman and Mike Hixon, while Chinese pair Cao Yuan and Qin Kai took bronze. For Mears, it has been an extraordinary story. He was given a 5 per cent chance of survival when he ruptured his spleen during training seven years ago. Soon ater the incident, he suffered a seven-hour seizure that left him in a coma for three days.

Football: Honduras knock out Argentina Argentina, football gold medallists at Athens 2004 and Beijing 2008, are out after struggling to a 1-1 draw against Honduras, who advance to the quarter-finals, on Saturday. There they will come up against Republic of Korea, who produced a 1-0 win against Mexico and dumped the London 2012 champions out of the Games. Meanwhile, Fiji’s rugby sevens team may be flourishing, but their football team is not. The Pacific Islanders suffered a 10-0 loss to Germany in their group C clash, with Nils Petersen bagging five goals. Germany will play Portugal in the quarter-finals.
