Tom Daley, a five-time Olympic medallist, has announced his retirement from diving at the age of 30.

The announcement was made on August 12, 2024, in London.

Daley secured his fifth Olympic medal, a silver, in the synchronized 10-meter event in Paris last month.

In Paris, Daley won silver alongside Noah Williams, finishing behind the Chinese team.

His gold medal in Tokyo was won alongside partner Matty Lee, and he returned to compete in Paris after encouragement from his son, Robbie.

Daley's Olympic career began at the Beijing Games in 2008, and he has since won a total of five medals: gold and bronze in Tokyo, silver in Paris, and bronzes in London and Rio.

Daley had decided to end his career before the Paris Olympics, as he revealed to Vogue magazine.

Daley expressed that it was emotional to know his last dive would be in competition and felt it was the right time to retire after a 16-year Olympic career.

He was emotionally moved by the presence of his husband, Lance, and their children, Robbie and Phoenix, in the audience during his final competitive jump.

The British Olympic Association praised Daley as a 'legend' upon his retirement, highlighting his four gold medals from World Championships and five from European Championships.

He won a bronze medal at the 2012 London Olympics, shortly after the death of his father.

Daley won gold in the 10m synchronized diving event at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021.
