UK Bathrooms Proud to Carry on Sponsoring Olympic Diver Jack Laugher

2014 will see UK Bathrooms continue our sponsorship and support of Olympic Diver Jack Laugher, who is a Ripon native. It’s a busy year for the young lad, who like a number of British competitors have been out through injury or other issues, jack himself is just recovering from an earlier infection which affected his balance is coming back into the fold in 2014.

This week he is heading to Southend for the British Gas National Cup 2014. This will be his first major competition in 2014 and a great starting block for the New Year. Hopefully his recent infection which affected his balance won’t trouble him, and he can easily spin and twist in the air for 2 seconds without becoming disorientated. This completion is good practise for Jack to work on his form, along with the 3m Syncro Competition in which he will be competing with long-time pal Chris Mears from Southampton (also getting over an ankle injury!)

The competition will offer both divers to cement their diving skills, ready for the Commonwealth Games in July which are being held in Glasgow (not too much travelling for that). Prior to that, Jack will also be competing in 4 of the Fina World Series competitions in Beijing, Dubai, Moscow and the new Olympic Pool in London. All the time he will also still be studying for his A Levels. On the road with a tutor so he doesn’t fall behind. It means he can fit in at least 30hours of training a week, compete and still continue to get a good education.

2014 looks set to be a stellar year for Jack, with some tough competitions to compete in, it will certainly be a challenge, which he is up for. Building on the experience of the London 2012 Olympics where he competed with world class divers and Champion Diver Tom Daley as well the winning the 3m syncro World Junior title with him in Australia after the Olympics.

2013 was also a fantastic year, Jack was able to attend the Buckingham Palace Garden Party with his mum Jackie who also went to the Olympics as a Technical Official for the scoring.

He also spoke to children at his former school Ripon Cathedral Primary, inspiring them with his achievements. The children were also fascinated to learn what his training involved and what his life is like.

Everyone here at UK Bathrooms, wish the very best success for Jack!
