LOIS Toulson saw her hopes of clinching a second medal shattered by a poor fourth dive in the women’s 10m Platform competition at the European Championships in Glasgow.
The 18-year-old from Cleckheaton, winner of a gold medal in the 10m Synchronised Platform event on Monday, was leading after the first three rounds.
She dropped back to fifth as a result of her fourth dive and finished with a score of 292.20.
It was an improvement on the City of Leeds Diving Club members prelims performance but fell 15.95 points short of a podium position.
Team-mate Robyn Birch improved on her result from last year’s European Championships stepping up from ninth to sixth. Her final score 290.60.
The other nations really stepped up from prelims to finals and challenged the British pair through the five-round final.
Toulson will return to the boards for the Mixed 10m Synchro later in the week.
