British divers Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix and Lois Toulson spoke about how ‘bringing God into the competition takes their pressure and stress away’ after winning the bronze medal in the synchronised 10 metre platform diving at the Olympic Games this summer.
The pair, aged 19 and 24, became the first British women to win a medal in the event at the Games, their score of 304.38 proving enough to see them finish above Canada.
They were interviewed after the final and Spendolini-Sirieix told Eurosport that she ‘gives God all the glory,’ and of how reading from the Bible about being ‘strong and courageous’ the day before the final inspired her to leave everything out there.
