LONDON — 5-time Olympic medalist Tom Daley introduced Monday that he’s retiring from diving.
Daley instructed British journal Vogue that he had determined to finish his profession.
The 30-year-old British diver has competed at 5 Video games, together with making his debut in Beijing 2008 and successful gold and bronze in Tokyo, silver in Paris and bronze in London 2012 and Rio 2016.
Daley, who gained his fifth Olympic medal within the 10m synchronised occasion in Paris final month, stated within the interview: “It feels very, very surreal. I felt so extremely nervous going into this, realizing that this was my final Olympics.”
“There was a number of strain and expectation. I actually wished to get it accomplished. However once I walked out and noticed my husband (Lance) and children (Robbie and Phoenix) and my family and friends within the viewers, I believed, ‘ what? That is precisely why I did this.’
“It was emotional on the finish, there on the platform, realizing this is able to be my final aggressive dive.
“However I’ve to decide in some unspecified time in the future, and it appears like the fitting time. It is the fitting time to cease.”
Daley’s gold got here in Tokyo 2021 within the 10m synchronised occasion, partnering Matty Lee. He was again to defend his title in Paris after being satisfied to return to the game by his son Robbie.
Daley gained silver within the French capital alongside Noah Williams. China took gold.
