Daley first competed in the Olympics when he was only 14. Since his debut in the Beijing Olympics in 2008, he has won five Olympic medals. He is the first diver from Great Britain to achieve this feat.

He won the gold medal in Tokyo 2020.

Daley and Williams delivered six good dives to win the silver medal. They were edged out by China’s Yang Hao and Lian Junjie.

The duo put pressure on China’s pair but could not outclass them.

The arena erupted with cheers after Daley and Williams scored an impressive 93.96 in their fourth dive. The Chinese pair responded with an outstanding 95.88 in their subsequent attempt.

The British pair finished with 463.44 points. Tom Daley’s medals include three bronze, a gold besides a silver.
