Jack Laugher

Jack David Laugher is a British springboard diver competing for Great Britain and England, born on 30 January 1995 in Harrogate, North Yorkshire. He learned to dive at the Harrogate and District Diving Club after a lifeguard suggested lessons when he was seven. With Chris Mears he won the men's synchronised 3 metre springboard at the 2016 Rio Olympics, Britain's first diving Olympic gold, and a week later he took silver in the individual event, which remains the best Olympic placing by an individual British diver. He has won Commonwealth Games titles in 2014, 2018 and 2022, three of them in 2018 alone, and in 2015 he won the overall FINA Diving World Series title on the 3 metre springboard. He has also dived in synchro with Daniel Goodfellow and Anthony Harding.
