English pair Matty Lee and Noah Williams won the men’s synchronised 10m platform in dramatic circumstances as Williams overcame an injured ankle to limp away with gold.
Lee, an Olympic champion in the event, and individual Commonwealth silver medallist Williams were the faouvrites coming into the final but were pushed all the way to the last dive by Canada’s Rylan Wiens and Nathan Zsombor-Murray. There Williams shook off the pain that scuppered their fourth round dive to produce an immaculate 4 1/2 somersaults worth a title clinching 84.36. The Canadians finished with silver, and Australia’s Cassiel Rousseau and Domonic Bedggood won bronze.
