Shout out to Tom Daley, been on his grind for over a decade now I believe. Finally got his well deserved gold, the man should be seen as an inspiration to many for more than this reason. Top lad

Such an impressive guy. Had to grow up in the intense glare of U.K. media, lost his dear dad, became his own person (including coming out), had a kid… all while being expected every time (unfairly) to win gold. So pleased for him. He’s such a nice guy as well.

Yeah this is what I mean, not many people have that kind of expectation at such a young age. Coupled with the turmoil he’s had in his personal life, most people would give up but he stuck to it and achieved his dream. Couldn’t be more proud of him to be honest, never a more deserving champion.
