Simultaneously, with his silver medal from 2013, Hunt became the most successful male high diver since the event was brought into the World Aquatics Championships.

Nine divers have been nominated to the roster for Team GB at the Worlds, including 2012 Olympic bronze medalist Tom Daley.

[4] Diving at the 2015 World Aquatics Championships was a qualification event for the 2016 Summer Olympics, and Great Britain, with a top three finish in the 3 m synchronized springboard for Jack Laugher and Chris Mears, achieved a quota place for a team at the Rio games.

In the individual events, Tom Daley (10m platform) and Jack Laugher (3m springboard) both won bronze medals, and they, along with finalists Rebecca Gallantree (3 metre springboard) and Tonia Couch (10 metre platform), won a single quota place for Great Britain in each of the four individual diving events in Rio.

Among the official roster featured European and Commonwealth Games champions Jazmin Carlin, Chris Walker-Hebborn, and Adam Peaty, who overhauled the 58-second barrier to set a new world record in the 100 m breaststroke at the national trials.
