Teenage diving sensation Tom Daley's much-hyped Olympic debut ended in disappointment after he and partner Blake Aldridge finished last in the men's synchronised 10metre platform event.
The 14-year-old Daley and his team-mate began well, finishing the first round in joint third out of eight with Australia and Germany.
However, poor synchronisation on their third dive - an inward three-and-a-half somersault with tuck - cost them their worst score of the competition and dropped them to eighth and last place from which they could not recover.
The gold medal, as expected, was won by China (468.18) with Germany second (450.42) and Russia (445.26) taking the bronze.
