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

British favourite Tom Daley clinched a bronze medal at the World Aquatics Championships on Sunday, finishing third in the men's 10-metre platform final to round off a successful weekend in Kazan, Russia. 

Daley had already given Britain much to be happy about after securing the team's place in the individual 10-metre platform event at Rio 2016 just by qualifying for Sunday's climactic showdown.

A final dive attempt saw Daley score 537.95 in total to finish among the World Aquatics Championships' top three in this event for the first time since winning the gold in 2009.

Here are the overall results from Sunday's 10-metre platform final:

Position	Diver	Nation	Score
1	Qiu Bo	China	587.00
2	David Boudia	United States	560.20
3	Tom Daley	Great Britain	537.95
4	Ivan Garcia Navarro	Mexico	518.95
5	Benjamin Auffret	France	490.25
6	Victor Minibaev	Russia	486.40
7	Nikita Shleikher	Russia	482.70
8	Domonic Bedggood	Australia	470.40
9	Vadim Kaptur	Belarus	455.20
10	Jian Yang	China	451.20

The 21-year-old was engaged in a fierce head-to-head with Mexico's Ivan Garcia for the third podium place, while China's Qiu Bo sealed his spot as world champion and David Boudia of the United States claimed the silver medal.

Daley needed more than a 95.20 in order to go ahead of Garcia lining up for his penultimate dive, but the judges would desire a last-gasp rush for the podium, handing the Briton that exact score.

Garcia faltered just enough in his final dive to give Daley a bit of breathing room, to which the youngster swiftly responded with a spotless last attempt to open up daylight between himself and fourth place.

The official British Swimming Twitter account confirmed Daley's victory, while fellow diver Jack Laugher was also behind his Team GB diving-mate:

It rounds off a particularly pleasant weekend for Daley, who won gold in the team event alongside Rebecca Gallantree, adding his second individual medal at the World Aquatics Championships.

Speaking to BBC Sport's Nick Hope of the burden this weekend's success takes off his shoulders, Daley said:

"

It's actually a massive relief. Winning with Becky in the team event gave me a bit of confidence, but it wouldn't have meant anything if I hadn't finished in the top 12 today. 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.

"

Strong form early on in Sunday's Kazan encounter meant the pressure on Daley wasn't as great coming to the final dives.

As confirmed by Hope, Daley was on course for the bronze with two dive attempts left, showing just how well he was able to contend with his peers:

The British figure will hope Sunday's display can provide a springboard moving toward Rio 2016, where he's likely to once again be one of the major faces of Team GB.

At this stage in his career, Daley stands as one of the elite diving circuit's more experienced members, keeping his cool under pressure to bring a World Championship medal back to British shores.
