Great Britain added two gold medals to its tally at the European Aquatics Championships held in Paris. In women’s synchronized 10m diving, Maisie Bond and Lois Toulson captured the title with a score of 300.06, finishing ahead of Germany’s 298.20 and Ukraine’s 286.20. Toulson noted the team had prepared extensively for the competition and achieved a personal best in the process, expressing pride in the accomplishment.
The second gold came from the artistic swimming mixed duet competition, where Isabelle Thorpe and Ranjuo Tomblin won their first European title in the event. The pair narrowly defeated Spain with a winning score of 258.2383, edging their rivals by a margin of 0.2650, while Italy placed third at 255.1641. Thorpe, an Olympic silver medallist, highlighted the difficulty of the preparation period due to injury but expressed satisfaction at the outcome. Tomblin, who had previously won the men’s solo technical title earlier in the week, called the mixed duet victory particularly meaningful given his partnership with Thorpe.
British divers also achieved success in the men’s 1m springboard final, though not at the top of the podium. Jack Laugher earned silver with a score of 418.25, and his compatriot Jordan Houlden took bronze at 410.30. Germany’s Moritz Linus Wesemann won the event with a score of 431.45.
