Tonia Couch and Sarah Barrow

PLYMOUTH diver Sarah Barrow has revealed she is more determined than ever to secure an individual place at this summer’s Olympic Games in Rio after the disappointment of losing her synchro spot.

In a blog for the Women’s Sports Trust, Barrow reveals her pain at British officials deciding to split her and Tonia Couch up as a pair after six years of success.

Couch and BarrowShe says: “Being broken up as a pair, separated from your best friend through no fault of your own, is one of the hardest things I’ve ever been through.”

But Barrow adds: “Quitting isn’t an option, though. I’m going to fight like I’ve never fought before to be on the plane to Rio.

“At the moment, I feel stronger, fitter and more determined than I ever have done.”
