Tom Daley wins World Series event in Edinburgh

Plymouth's young diving hero Tom Daley has won the 10m platform final at the World Series event in Edinburgh this evening (Sunday 21 April).

In only his second major event since clinching a bronze medal in the Olympics, the 18-year-old beat a field that included the man he pushed into fourth place at London 2012 last year, the Russian Victor Minibaev who finished second.

Daley struggled to find his best form initially but produced a brilliant final dive to total 540 points and win the event.

Plymouth's other fine diving talent, 23-year-old Tonia Couch, had to settle for fourth place for the second time in the tournament. Having missed a top 3 placing in the platform synchro on Friday, she again fell frustratingly short in the women's platform this evening.
