Team GB wins two gold medals on day five of Rio Olympics
Team GB has won two gold medals and four bronzes on the fifth day of the Rio Olympics.
Jack Laugher and Chris Mears won an historic gold in the men's synchronised three metres springboard to become Britain's first ever Olympic diving champions.
Joe Clarke also paddled his way to a gold medal in the men's canoe slalom K1.
Proving the British diving team is about more than one man, the Leeds pair Laugher and Mears joined Tom Daley and Dan Goodfellow as medallists.
Speaking to ITV News, Chris Mears said winning in Rio was "a moment in time that I’ll never forget and I’ll cherish for ever. It was just a dream come true."
Mears and Laugher won World Championships bronze in 2015, Commonwealth gold in 2014 and European gold in May.
And now they are Olympic champions after finishing ahead of the United States' Sam Dorman and Mike Hixon in second and China's Cao Yuan and Qin Kai in bronze.
Leeds Civic Hall will be lit up by special golden lights to mark their success.
Laugher, from Harrogate, and Mears, from Reading, both train as part of the City of Leeds Diving Club.
The leader of Leeds City Council Judith Blake said: "We are absolutely thrilled for them all and can't wait to celebrate Jack and Chris's success when they return to Leeds."
Clarke was stunned by his success and hailed it as a "dream come true".
He told ITV News that it was only when he was stood on top of the Olympic podium and the national anthem began to play that the magnitude of his success sank in.
"I just can't really put it into words," he added. "I'm on cloud nine and I can't imagine I'll be coming down anytime soon."
