Five-time Olympic medallist Tom Daley has confirmed his retirement from diving.
The 30-year-old won silver alongside Noah Williams in the men’s synchronised 10m platform in Paris to complete his set of medals, now with one of every colour.
Daley, who first competed in the 2008 Games at the age of 14, won bronze in London 2012 and in Tokyo in 2021 in the 10m platform, as well as bronze in the men’s synchronised 10m platform in Rio 2016.
He won gold in the synchronised 10m platform with Matty Lee in Tokyo and had effectively retired after those Games, before deciding to return for Paris in order to compete in front of his two children.
“I’m really happy with how everything’s gone,” an emotional Daley told the BBC’s Meghan Owen as Team GB arrived back in London from Paris.
After fulfilling a lifetime goal of winning gold in Tokyo in 2021, Daley took two years out of diving.
But he was persuaded to return to the pool when his son Robbie, now aged six, said he wanted to see his dad dive at an Olympic Games.
