GB diving coach Figueiredo given IOC honour

Team GB's diving head coach Jane Figueiredo has been given a lifetime achievement award by the International Olympic Committee (IOC).

Last summer Team GB won five medals at the Paris Games, including Noah Williams and Tom Daley gaining silver in the men's 10m synchro.

Figueiredo, 60, has been the head diving coach for Team GB since 2014.

"Coaching has been my passion since I was a young girl, and to receive this award is a dream come true," she said.

Speaking about Figueiredo, Daley added: "Throughout the years she has taught me what it means to be a real professional athlete.

"She has impacted so many people and not just me and my diving career, in and out of the pool."

Figueiredo, born in Zimbabwe, represented Portugal at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics before competing and coaching at the University of Houston.
