Men's 10m platform final
Team GB
Here's what Tom Daley had to say after winning the bronze medal in the men's 10m platform final:
"I am so happy this Olympics has gone the way it has. I feel I am a different athlete and to finally get here, I always dreamed I would but if someone told me I was going to win a gold and a bronze I would have laughed in their faces!
"Although I’m the one standing on the podium there’s so many people behind me. I’m so overwhelmed with the love and support back home."
On how it feels to win a second medal:
"The actual difficult thing with the individual is you have a preliminary and a semi-final to survive and once you get in the final - I love the competition when it counts.
"I fought all the way through and extremely happy to come away with the bronze."
What does the future hold for Tom Daley?
"I’m going to take a bit of a break from diving. I am feeling better, doing better and my body’s doing good, so … we’ll see."
