Tom Daley at World Aquatics Championships 2015: Results, Scores from Saturday

Tom Daley qualified for the 2015 World Aquatics Championships individual 10 metre platform final on Saturday.

Daley finished third in Saturday's semi-final to qualify for Sunday's showpiece, and by reaching the final he has also ensured Team GB will have a place in the event at 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. 

The 21-year-old reached the semis after finishing ninth out of 48 in the day's earlier preliminary round.

Here are Daley's results from Saturday:

Dive	Score	Total
Dive 1	86.40	86.40
Dive 2	86.40	172.80
Dive 3	78.75	251.55
Dive 4	94.35	345.90
Dive 5	81.60	427.50
Dive 6	97.20	524.70

Dive	Score	Total
Dive 1	80.00	80.00
Dive 2	72.00	152.00
Dive 3	89.25	241.25
Dive 4	66.60	307.85
Dive 5	86.70	394.55
Dive 6	72.00	466.55

By his own standards, Daley produced a fairly mixed preliminary round but nevertheless cruised through.

After a strong start with 80.00 in his opening dive, Daley then scored 72.00 in his second effort.

However, as British Swimming noted on Twitter, the relatively low score was understandable:

An armstand dive in his third earned Daley his highest score of the round, but a forward 4.5 in his fourth saw him record a score of just 66.60.

The Englishman was never lower than ninth on the overall leaderboard though, so his qualification for the semis was never in doubt.

A reverse 3.5 with tuck earned him a solid score of 86.70, and a back 3.5 piked produced another 72.00 as he sailed through the round.

Daley was much improved in the semi-finals and began the round well with two consistent scores:

An armstand back triple somersault in his third was the only disappointment of the round, as he scored 78.75, but Daley responded magnificently with his best dive of the day so far, getting 94.35 for his forward 4.5 with tuck.

A solid fifth dive left the Englishman fourth with one dive to go, and the 2009 champion saved the best until last to secure third place:

According to BBC Sport's Nick Hope, Daley is hoping for a repeat of the final in Rome six years ago. He said: "I've just got to have fun because that's what I remember having in 2009. I wasn't thinking about any of the pressures and just went out there and enjoyed it, so hopefully I can do that again."

Having dived so well on Saturday, Daley will surely be in contention for a medal in the final on Sunday.

However, the 21-year-old will face stiff competition in the face of China's Yang Jian and Qiu Bo.

The latter in particular was in red-hot form on Saturday, so expect him to claim the gold ahead of Daley in Sunday's final.
