London Olympics 2012: Hannah Starling proves Britain's diving team has strength in depth at the World Cup After Peter Waterfield, Daley's synchro partner, won Britain's second medal of the week with a bronze in Saturday's individual platform event in the Olympic Aquatics Centre, it was the turn of 16 year-old Hannah Starling to step into the spotlight when she clinched second place in the dive-off for Olympic places in the three-metre springboard on Sunday. Only Russia's Svetlana Philippova was able to get the better of her. "When you stand on the board and you hear the whole arena rooting for you, I just can't put into words how amazing it feels," said Starling. You just know that they are all there for you and all you have to do is do your dive and everything will be fine. Waterfield, the 2004 Olympic platform synchro silver medallist, also paid tribute to the home crowd after winning bronze with a brilliant final dive while Lin Yue, the Chinese No 2, fluffed his final effort. Daley had opted not to contest the individual event. "This is what a home crowd can do," said Waterfield. You've got to dive well to get that crowd screaming and shouting and that's what I did.
