Cao, who had already taken gold in the synchro 10m platform and 3m springboard at the 2019 Worlds, collected his third medal of the tournament by finishing with 517.85 to take silver.

"It was the first time that I have competed in three events at the Worlds. I was under great pressure, both mentally and physically. I had some errors in my last two dives, but I was tired and I tried my best today," Cao said.

Laugher cried in the arms of his coach after an error in his final dive.

"I had an amazing five dives before I made a mistake in my last 207C. It hurt me a lot because I am passionate about diving," Laugher said.

Woo Ha-ram of South Korea finished fourth in 478.80 and 2017 Olympic gold medal winner David Boudia of the United States ended up in fifth place.
