Oliver Dingley has qualified for this summer's Olympic Games after reaching the semi-finals of the at the FINA Diving World Cup in Tokyo.
The 2016 Olympian finished 15th in the preliminary round of the three-metre springboard competition to advance to the semi-finals.
And with the top 18 qualifying, Dingley has now secured his place at his second consecutive Games, which take place in Tokyo in July and August this summer.
The Irish record holder scored 399.75 points in the preliminary round, and will compete in the semi-finals on Thursday morning.
On Tuesday, Tanya Watson became the first Irish female diver to qualify for the Olympic games, following her success at the World Cup event.
Watson finished her competition with a score of 295.50 points in the 10m platform semi-final.
Improving on the 271.85 points achieved in the preliminary round, the 19-year-old's semi-final score is the highest she has ever posted in a FINA competition.
Watson has spent much of the past year training with Dingley and Clare Cryan under Ireland’s head coach for diving, Damian Ball, at the Sport Ireland National Aquatic Centre.
"Another fantastic day and some top class performances from our divers," said Ball.
"Ollie’s experience was clear today, he was consistent, confident, and hardly put a foot wrong. 16 months of no competitions hasn’t seemed to phase Ollie at all.
"Tanya dived with passion and enjoyment in her debut World Cup semi-final. Two points was all that separated her from a spot in the final. The remainder of this season could be very promising for this young talent."
The next stop for Watson is the LEN European Championship in Budapest, which begins on Monday, 10 May.
