Great Britain's Desharne Bent-Ashmeil won three gold medals in as many days at the European Aquatics Championships in Belgrade, Serbia.

The 19-year-old finished with a score of 305.15 to win the women's 3m springboard final on Friday, more than 60 points ahead of the runner-up.

She also claimed gold alongside Amy Rollinson, 20, in the women’s synchro 3m event on Thursday with an impressive final score of 269.10.

That followed GB's first diving medal on Wednesday when she won gold in the mixed synchro 3m final with 21-year-old Ben Cutmore.

On Sunday, Robbie Lee won another gold for GB in the men's 10m platform final, with team-mate Cutmore placing third.

Bronze marked a third medal for Cutmore after he and Euan McCabe won the same colour in the men's 10m synchro on Friday, while Matthew Dixon also won bronze on Saturday in the men's 3m springboard final.

GB finished the championships top of the diving medal table with seven medals.
