David Jenkins - a diving coach who was part of the Great Britain team for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics - has passed away at the age of 31.

Jenkins worked for Dive London as their Development Lead Coach, where two athletes under his tutelage - Noah Williams and Scarlett Mew-Jensen - represented GB at the Tokyo Games.

The GB coach also oversaw Williams's feats at the 2018 Commonwealth Games - where he won a silver medal in the 10 m synchro - and he received a nomination for Diving Coach of the Year at the British Swimming Awards that same year.

British Swimming paid tribute to Jenkins in a statement, saying: "It is with immense sadness that British Swimming can confirm the death of diving coach David Jenkins over the weekend.

"All our thoughts and condolences go out to David's wife, family and friends, and we please ask that their privacy, and that of the British Diving community, be respected at this difficult time. We will be working closely with staff and athletes who have been affected by this awful news.

"A former gymnast and diver himself, David had a bright future ahead of him and will be greatly missed by everyone he worked with across British Diving and GLL."

Swim England chief executive Jane Nickerson added: "Everyone at Swim England is deeply saddened to hear of David's passing. He was a highly-respected coach who played a key role in the development of several divers who have competed at the Commonwealth Games, World Championships and the Olympics.

"He will be extremely missed poolside and our thoughts and sincere condolences from everyone at Swim England go out to his family and friends."

A cause of death has not been given.
