Tom Daley announces retirement from diving following Paris Olympics
Team GB legend Tom Daley has announced his retirement from diving after winning a silver medal at this summer’s Paris Olympics.
Daley, 30, was selected as one of Team GB’s flagbearers for the opening ceremony, alongside rower Helen Glover, ahead of his fifth consecutive appearance at an Olympic Games.
After making his Olympic debut aged just 14 at the Beijing Games in 2008, Daley went on to establish himself as one of the most recognisable faces in British sport.
The silver Daley won alongside Noah Williams in the men’s synchronised 10m competition was the fifth medal of his long Olympic career, after three bronzes and the gold he clinched in Tokyo three years ago.
