The British Olympic legend returned from retirement to earn silver at Paris 2024
Barely a year after returning to diving, Tom Daley completed the full set of Olympic medals by claiming silver in partnership with Noah Williams in the men’s synchronised 10m platform in Paris. And as Daley and Williams produced exceptional dive after exceptional dive, each in seemingly perfect harmony, it made you wonder how they had achieved such synchronicity in such a short space of time.
He said: “I think it might be our strength that we don’t need to do as much synchro together. Our tactic this time was to focus more on the individual dives. “We would turn up and wing it together and compete. It’s been something that wouldn’t be the way we would normally do it, but I wasn’t planning on coming back .”
They finished fourth, booking GB’s spot at the Games, but opening the door for a fifth Olympic appearance for Daley, 16 years after making his debut and capturing the hearts of a nation in Beijing.
