Diving duo ‘never gave up’ on Olympic bronze
Andrea Spendolini Sirieix and Lois Toulson

LOIS TOULSON insisted that she and diving partner Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix “never gave up” after a tense finale in the women’s synchronised 10m platform event saw them claim bronze today.

The pair jumped into second at the end of round two, but entering the more difficult dives, they tumbled into fifth after the third round.

However, they staged a brilliant comeback in the final two rounds to crawl back up the medal table.
