Unstoppable duo Anthony Harding and Jack Laugher secure another gold medal after claiming the men’s synchronised 3m springboard title at the European Championships.

Former Copley Academy student Anthony has boasted a successful year in the world of sport after achieving, World, Commonwealth, and now European success.

Partnering with the wonderful Jack Laugher, the pair have proved to be a force in the pool.

Their success marks British diving team’s best-ever performance at the European Aquatics Championships, surpassing the three golds and 11 medals they won in 2016.

Here, Anthony and Jack achieved their third major championship medal since their debut as a pairing at the World Championships in June.

An unbelievably stunning Commonwealth performance, a beautiful Budapest show and a strong finisher in Rome, Harding and Laugher commemorate a fantastic season of diving.

The pair will now set their sights on the Paris 2024 Olympics, where qualifying will soon begin.

Struggling to make the team selection in previous years, his 2022 success has been immeasurable for Anthony, who will continue to show his talent in the pool.
