Easily some of the best photos he’s shared so far! Like god damn!! Just wish he hadn’t cropped his head out but I get it of course!

Does anyone know if Jack qualified for Paris? Not sure what the process is as I know some of the divers had to finish in certain positions
At this stage the various international teams are gaining the places for the Paris Olympics. Then, once they have the places, the actual teams (at a later date) decide who is going to take those places.
I believe Team GB already had at least 1 place for the 3m Springboard, which you'd imagine would go to Jack Laugher as he's our best springboard diver. If we have more than 1 place then the likes of Dan Goodfellow, Ross Haslam, etc may get a spot for Paris.

That is a super weird system and not how it works in any other sports but okay

I think it works that way for all international diving at the Olympics, not just for Team GB. Places are gained during various other competitions, but not for specifically named divers. Then the teams decide nearer to the date of the Olympics which divers are in the best form and get the spots. Tom Daley mentioned the other day that he & Noah Williams secured a spot for the 10m synchro platform. BUT he's not yet certain of being one of the divers who represents Team GB in that sport in Paris. Apparently it's between Tom, Noah and Matty Lee as to which 2 will represent Team GB. I dare say it'll be Tom and one of the other lads as he's our best platform diver. In the same way you'd expect Jack Laugher to get the first 3m springboard spot as he's out best 3m diver. But as you say, it's a strange way of doing things.
- LTUK,
Matt Dixon talked about the selection process in one of his live streams. He explained how it is a better system because it means that an otherwise average diver who just happens to have a brilliant day in one competition does not necessarily qualify. Equally a diver who has an off day in one competition but is otherwise clearly the strongest contender out of the team can still qualify. It's all about who, realistically, is likely to win medals.
On the one hand yes that's true. On the other hand it does kind of suck if you're the average diver who earned the spot but nevertheless doesn't get it.
- LTUK,
True. He did say that it could also be brutal, for the reason you've just explained.
Just to follow that up, I guess the reason it seems counterintuitive is because it doesn't follow the same logic as medals. You don't get a medal for being the best overall performer of the season or whatever, you medal because you gave the best performance on the day of the competition. Now sure, consistent performance is a good indicator that you're likely to get a medal, but things don't always shake out that way.
