Lois Toulson: 'Final dive was my best of the night'

Lois Toulson 'proud' of final dive

European champion Lois Toulson has admitted that her gold-medal winning final dive "worked out perfectly".

The 15-year-old British athlete finished over 27 points clear of silver medallist Anna Chuinyshena, who was in the lead prior to Toulson's dive.

She told reporters: "I was following the Russian who had just done the same dive and done it quite well too, so I was definitely feeling the pressure. I just tried to keep calm and to do what I had been working on in training and it worked out perfectly. It was my best dive of the night."

Toulson won Britain's fourth gold medal of the Games.
