Germany are officially on the medal board. Lena Hentschel and Tina Punzel received 284.97 points for their efforts, enough to secure Germany’s first medal of the games.

Team GB pair Grace Reid and Katherine Thomas were in podium contention after three rounds, but a surprisingly poor fourth dive cost them any realistic chance of a medal. The Brits are still waiting to pick up their first medal.
