British star Daley leaves it late to advance to final

Tom Daley survived a major scare as he left it until his final dive to nervously progress past the first round of the men’s 10-metre platform.

The 18-year-old former world champion produced one of the worst displays of his decorated young career before narrowly sneaking through to tomorrow morning’s 18-man semi-final.

Veteran team-mate Pete Waterfield was not so lucky, as he too under-performed in his fourth Olympics, to bow out in 23rd.
