Tom Daley wins fifth Olympic medal

Tom Daley has won his fifth Olympic medal, coming second alongside Noah Williams in the men's synchronised 10m platform in Paris.

The British divers got 463.44 points, but were beaten to the gold by China's Lian Junjie and Yang Hao who led from the first round and finished on 490.35 points.

He is the first British diver to compete at five Games and carried the flag for Team GB alongside rower Helen Glover in this year's opening ceremony in Paris.

Daley can add the silver to his medal collection - which contains gold from the same event and three bronzes stretching back to London 2012.

Daley seemed to have retired after the Tokyo Games in 2021, after which he didn't compete for two years.

He said that he was persuaded to come out of retirement when his son Robbie, now aged six, said he wanted to see him dive at an Olympics.

"It's just so special," Daley said.

"Doing it in front of my son who asked me to come back is so special. I now have one of every colour, I've completed the set.

"He's [Robbie] six years old and I hope he'll remember some of it."

Meanwhile, for Noah Williams, whose first experience of diving was watching on TV as a 14-year-old Daley competed at his first Olympics in 2008, this was a first Olympic medal.
