TOM DALEY has announced his retirement from diving following the Olympic Games in Paris.
The 30-year-old, who won gold at Tokyo in 2021, has called time on his career after securing his fifth Olympic medal in Paris this summer.
He revealed to British Vogue it was "the right time to call it a day" before he returned to the UK. Athletes travelled home by Eurostar and were greeted by hordes of cheering fans after claiming 65 gongs.
Arriving at St Pancras, Daley said: "I'm incredibly proud for doing another cycle at an Olympic Games.
"It felt like a massive bonus because I took two years out of the sport after Tokyo and didn't know if I would get back into the team or qualify for a spot with Team GB.
"To come away with a medal in front of my family, it meant a lot to me." Daley competed at five Games, making his bow at Beijing 2008 and winning one gold, a silver and three bronzes.
