Grace Reid wins diving gold for Scotland

Grace Reid collects diving gold for Team Scotland in the women's 1m springboard event at the Commonwealth Games.

Grace Reid has triumphed in the women's 1m springboard event at the Commonwealth Games.

The 21-year-old, who partners Tom Daley in mixed events on the diving circuit, delivered five solid scores to give herself a total of 275.30.

That ended up being a comfortable victory, more than 11 points clear of Australia's Georgia Sheehan, who took silver. Another Aussie, the experienced Esther Qin, had the bronze with a total of 252.95.

Team England's Katherine Torrance had been on course to medal but botched her final dive, the forward 2-1/2, which scored just 35.10 from the judges and left her in fifth place.

Alicia Blagg had the single highest score of any competitor - 62.40 for her forward 2-1/2 - but two sub-30 scores meant that her overall total of 228.55 was unable to trouble the medal positions.
