Moving debut for Irish diver Oliver Dingley

Irish Olympic hopeful Oliver Dingley expressed pride ‘hearing the Irish anthem’ as he collected gold at the Irish Open Diving championships in the National Aquatic Centre in Dublin, yesterday.

Former Team GB member Dingley switched his national allegiance last year having qualified to represent Ireland through one of his grandparents.

And adding to the emotion of the occasion was the fact that Dingley prevented British diver Tom Daley from completing a clean sweep during his weekend in the capital.
