Great Britain's Jack Laugher has claimed his third medal of the World Aquatics Championships.

The three-time Olympic medallist, 27, won silver in the men's 1m springboard in Budapest on Thursday.

Laugher was second at the halfway stage and held his nerve over his remaining three dives to score 426.95.

China's Wang Zongyuan was a clear winner with 493.30 for his third gold of the championships while Australia's Shixin Li (395.40) won bronze.

Laugher has also won bronze in the 3m springboard in Budapest and silver with Anthony Harding in the 3m synchro, with Wang, 20, winning gold in each of those events.

GB have so far won six diving medals at the championships, which run to 3 July, and are second in the medal table to China, who have won all nine diving golds so far.

Laugher, who had not competed in a Worlds event from the lower springboard since 2013, has now won a total of seven World Championship medals.

"Back in 2011 and 2013, I don't think I was anywhere near the final, so it's refreshing to come to a World Championships and come away with a medal," he said. "I'm really pleased.

"I'm a bit older and more experienced now. I think I'm still really nervous when I compete and there are things I need to work on still, but in comparison to where I was last year, I just feel like I'm enjoying my diving again. I feel great."

In the women's 10m platform synchro, Robyn Birch and Emily Martin started the final with three strong dives but ultimately finished ninth.
