The London 2012 bronze medallist beat a strong, albeit small, four-man field at the World Series in Edinburgh with a score of 542.15.

Daley qualified in first place yesterday morning, but had to overcome a sluggish start to ensure a mostly teenage sell-out crowd at the Royal Commonwealth Pool were whipped into hysterics.

They had to wait until Daley’s third dive, a back three-and-a-half somersault, before finding their full roar as he earned the first tens of the three-day meet. From there he took charge, earning 9.5s for his next, and most difficult dive, before capping ­victory with another ten.
