GLASGOW (Reuters) - Jack Laugher dived to his second gold of the European Championships, completing the springboard double on Thursday when he added the three-metre title to his victory in the one-metre event.

The 23-year-old Olympic champion, who goes from strength to strength as Britain's most successful diver, outduelled his Russian rival, former Olympic gold medallist Ilia Zakharov to win what he felt was an "emotional" competition for him.
