In the diving arena, Great Britain celebrated a bronze medal in the men's 3m synchronised event. Jack Laugher and Anthony Harding scored 405.33, narrowly missing silver but showcasing their resilience and skill. The pair, who have previously won two silver medals together at the World Aquatics Championships, expressed their determination to continue their journey towards the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.

Meanwhile, China's diving duo Wang Zongyuan and Zheng Jiuyuan dominated the event with a score of 467.31, securing the gold medal. Mexico's Juan Celaya and Osmar Olvera took silver with 449.28.

In other events, Ben Proud of Great Britain narrowly missed his national record in the men's 50m butterfly, finishing just 0.04 seconds short. The women's 10m synchro platform saw Lois Toulson and Maisie Bond of Great Britain finish fifth in their first world final together.

McIntosh’s next challenge will be the 400m individual medley, where she aims to continue her historic run. The World Aquatics Championships continue to deliver thrilling performances, setting the stage for the upcoming 2028 Olympics.
