Tom Daley in Paris

Tom Daley has announced his retirement from diving after winning a silver medal in the men's synchronised 10m platform event at the 2024 Paris Olympics, marking his fifth Olympic medal. The 30-year-old diver expressed that it felt like the right time to end his career, reflecting on his journey that began at age 14 at the 2008 Beijing Games. Daley shared emotional moments during his farewell, stating, 'I have to hang it up at some time. I'm very proud,' while also acknowledging his husband's support throughout his career. He humorously recounted leaving his medal behind in the athletes’ village but confirmed it was found and on its way back to London. Throughout his career, Daley has amassed a total of one gold, three bronze, and one silver Olympic medal, solidifying his legacy in the sport. He now looks forward to spending more time with his family after his remarkable diving career.
