GRACE Reid admitted she was in shock after she became the first Scottish diver to medal at a World Championships when she earned a silver alongside Tom Daley in the 3m mixed synchro event in Budapest yesterday.

The Team GB duo, below were in second place behind China after four of the five rounds of dives in Hungary and held their nerve with a final dive of 72.54 points to clinch the silver, with the Chinese duo of Han Wang and Zheng Li winning gold.

Reid, 21, from Edinburgh said: “It’s been a very surreal 24 hours, I don’t really know which way is up at the minute, but what a fantastic way to end my first World Championships.

“Tom and I have been training really hard and we work really well together.

“It’s hard to say why the partnership works so well, but I think we have similar kind of technique across certain dives and mentally we attack training, we give it everything. I am just delighted.”

Reid went into the mixed event full of confidence having dived very well on Friday night to finish fourth in the 3m individual event.

And earlier in the week she had recorded a fifth place result in the 3m synchro event with Katherine Torrance.

After two rounds of this final, Reid and Olympic medallist Daley sat in third equal with China on 97.80 points.

In round three they posted 71.10 and followed that up with a good fourth dive of 66.60 to put them second with one dive to go. Their final dive, a forward three-and-a-half earned them 72.54, making a final total of 308.04.

The Chinese pair finished with 323.70 points and bronze medal winners Canada with 297.72.
