Georgia Ward has progressed through to the final of the women's 10m platform event at the Diving World Cup in Rio de Janeiro.

The 20-year-old earned Team GB's second quota place for the Olympics thanks to her performance in the preliminary round yesterday and has now secured a spot in tonight's final.

Another assured performance saw Ward deliver five consistent dives - including four 60-plus efforts - to finish eighth in Sunday afternoon's semi-final with a total score of 304.00.

Ward's hopes of a podium finish in the final look slim, with Chinese pair Si Yajie and Ren Qian leading the pack with higher-tariff routines.
