Tom Daley is hoping to add to this Gold medal from Tokyo as he competes in his fifth Olympic games, while swimmer Ben Proud will be hoping to win Olympic Gold and complete his set of medals as the fastest man in water. Here are all the Plymouth athletes competing in the 2024 Olympics.
DIVING Tom Daley
Tom Daley became Great Britain's second youngest male Olympian in Beijing 2008, having become the youngest person to win gold at the European Championships earlier that year. Tom Daley started diving aged 7 and became Britain's youngest ever Olympian at just 14.
The Plymouth diver has since won a combined total of 11 World, Commonwealth and European Championship gold medals, establishing himself as one of the finest in the world.
Tom Daley is the first Team GB diver to win four Olympic medals, having won gold in Tokyo 2020 in the 10m synchro with Matty Lee, and his third bronze medal in the 10m platform.
Previously, Daley won bronze at London 2012 in the individual discipline before adding another in the synchro with Dan Goodfellow at Rio 2016. Daley teamed up with Goodfellow again to win gold in the same event at the Commonwealth Games in 2018 before taking a break from competing for the rest of the year.
Becoming a first-time parent with his husband in the intervening period, Tom returned to the diving board to achieve yet more success both on his own and with new synchro partner Matty Lee. He captured the heart of the nation with his knitting antics in Tokyo self proclaiming his success for 'Team Great Knitting'.
But there can be no greater success than finally clinching that elusive gold medal, with victory in the men's 10m synchro in Tokyo, as well as making British diving history with his record-breaking four Olympic medals.
