London 2012: Hannah Starling ensures GB take full diving squad to Olympics

Hannah Starling won the dive off at the Fina World Cup on Sunday securing a second Olympic spot in the women’s three metre springboard.

It means Britain will have a full complement of divers at an Olympic Games for the first time.

This week’s test event had doubled as final qualification for the Games with Starling narrowly failing to secure a second springboard spot last week when she finished just a single place outside the qualification berths.

But the 16 year old Leeds diver produced her best as she returned a score of 318, which would have been good enough to qualify for the final.
