Daley through to diving final
Britain's 14-year-old diving sensation Tom Daley booked a place in his first individual Olympic final as he qualified for the last 12 in the 10metre platform at the Water Cube.
The Plymouth teenager pulled off an impressive fourth-round jump - an armstand back triple somersault with tuck - to earn 86.4 points and drag himself back into the reckoning.
He followed that up with an even better backwards three-and-a-half somersault which brought 89.1, allowing him to eventually finish eighth on 458.6.
However, team-mate Peter Waterfield, from Southampton, just missed out by one place having been in the top 10 until his third dive dropped him to 12th.
He redeemed himself with a reverse three-and-a-half somersault with tuck to gain 90.75 points from his fourth effort only to finish badly on his next attempt.
His poor entry on his reverse three-and-a-half somersault tuck cost him and just 40.8 meant he fell back to 13th.
He could not retrieve things from there and finished one place short of the final.
China's Huo Liang topped qualifying with 549.95 points.
