Great Britain's Tonia Couch, Sarah Barrow win 10m synchro bronze at World Cup

Great Britain's Tonia Couch and Sarah Barrow guarantee their place at the Rio Olympics by winning 10m synchro bronze at the FINA World Cup.

British pair Tonia Couch and Sarah Barrow have won bronze in the final of the women's 10m synchro at the FINA World Cup in Rio de Janeiro.

Couch and Barrow qualified for the final in seventh place, but their score of 308.82 put them third behind China (344.04) and Malaysia (318.90), guaranteeing them a place at the Olympics later this summer.

The pair finished fifth at the London 2012 Olympics and won Commonwealth silver for England two years ago in Glasgow.

Meanwhile, world bronze medallists Chris Mears and Jack Laugher finished in fourth place in the men's 3m synchro with a score of 400.32.
