Summary:

A British diver and her partner won a bronze medal in the women’s synchronised three-metre springboard at the Paris Olympics. They prepared for the final by getting matching nails done. The day of the final started early with a warm-up, followed by proper training. The divers supported each other between dives and received motivation from their coaches. They executed a good performance and scored a personal best, earning them the bronze medal. The divers were in shock but pleased. They participated in post-dive celebrations and conducted numerous media interviews. The following day, the diver celebrated her birthday and spent time with family before returning to London to rest and train for the individual 3m springboard competition.
