Diving: The standard of diving in the 10m platform semi finals is so strong that just one dodgy dive could see the diver missing out on the final. They each perform six dives and the top 12 scorers go through.

London 2012: Sport is also top of the political agenda - particularly where it should feature on the school curriculum. And is non-competitive sport now out of favour completely? Lord Coe wades into the debate.. www.independent.co.uk
