Reid recently won silver at the European Junior Championships and will be looking to continue her success while Blagg took part in her first senior international in May at the FINA World Cup where she impressed with her performance. Daley commented: “I haven’t had the best preparations for this competition because of my injury but I am excited to be competing at a European Championships again. Being European Champion does add pressure but I want to go out there and dive consistently. “This will be my first major competition of the year and I am looking forward to getting onto the boards. I will be using my new dives during the competition and I will be excited to see how they go.” The British Diving Team, powered by British Gas, consists of: Max Brick |
