Team GB diver Jack Laugher - ‘I cried myself to sleep and wanted to quit after failure’


Team GB diver Jack Laugher, who has a place in the men's 3m synchronised diving event at the Paris 2024 Olympics, has opened up on how five years ago he was crying himself to sleep

Having led from the first round until his final routine, the Team GB star had been on track to challenge the world record total of 572.90 in the 3m springboard. The diver, who has set up an OnlyFans page, also added that he’d “wanted to quit” the sport after being left with “no confidence” and feeling “physically scared” to do the dive. Speaking to the BBC about the dive at the time, Jack, from North Yorkshire, added that he felt “dead inside” and “punched a wall like an idiot” after taking home bronze.
