GWANGJU: A defiant Tom Daley promised to come back stronger after flopping to seventh in the defence of his world 10 metre platform title on Saturday , losing out to China's latest superstars.
"It just puts a fire under your arse basically, to get back to training and doing what you need to do to be the best that you can be." Victory came despite a perfect set of 10s in the fourth round for Yang Hao, who had sacrificed a spot in the mixed three-metre synchro final to rest for his main event."I scored 13 perfect marks tonight and was thrilled to be part of such a close contest. It just wasn't enough."
Earlier, Australian pair Maddison Keeney and Matthew Carter broke China's stranglehold of the gold medals by winning the mixed three-metre synchro title by the finest of margins from Canada's perennial bridesmaids Francois Imbeau-Dulac and Jennifer Abel.
