English diver Jack Laugher extended his dominance in the one-meter springboard event Thursday to take a third straight gold at the Commonwealth Games.
The 27-year-old Laugher, who was England's flag bearer at the opening ceremony last week, continued a run that also included gold in Glasgow in 2014 and on Australia's Gold Coast four years ago.
“So, this afternoon I tried not to get too involved with the crowd … until that sixth dive went in. I knew it was good and then I could get excited with the crowd and enjoy it.” “It's best I don't know that stuff,” he said. “I was trying not to think about anybody else, but I heard at the finish that he had a mishap in the first three to five . It's a shame. You never like to see anyone come down.”
But injury and illnesses are also causing issues, with Australia's team hit by the withdrawal of three medal contenders.
