Great Britain's Lois Toulson wins gold in women's platform

Great Britain win their fourth gold of the European Games, as Lois Toulson claims victory in the women's platform.

Lois Toulson has won Great Britain's fourth gold of the European Games in the women's platform.

The 15-year-old dominated the event and won by over 27 points from the Russian Federation's Anna Chuinyshena.

However, her fellow Brit Shanice Lobb had to settle for fourth place after a disappointing third round.

Toulson started strongly with an inward 2-1/2 somersault, which scored 71.40 in the first round, and she followed that up with 60.20 with her reverse 2-1/2 somersault, and 60 for a forward 3-1/2 somersault.

She confirmed the win with a score of 84.80 in the final round for a back 2-1/2 somersault 1-1/2 twists.

Lobb was behind her in second place after the opening two rounds, which saw her score 63 for her forward 3-1/2 somersault, followed by 64 for an armstand back double somersault 1-1/2 twists.

However, Lobb's inward 3-1/2 somersault only scored 33.50 and she fell behind Chuinyshena and Germany's Elena Wassen prior to the final round.

The 17-year-old hit back strongly with a final-round score of 67.10, but it wasn't enough to earn her a medal as Wassen held on for bronze.
