Tom Daley Retires After Olympic Career Spanning 16 Years & A Full Set Of Medals
Tom Daley has retired from diving after a senior international career that spanned 16 years and brought Olympic, world, European and Commonwealth titles.
The 30-year-old has been winning national titles since 2007 and in March 2008, Daley became the youngest person to win gold at the European Championships in Eindhoven when he claimed the 10m platform title aged 13.
He made his Olympic debut later that year before becoming world champion aged 15 in Rome in July 2009.

Since then, Daley amassed a further three world titles among seven medals, four more European golds and as many Commonwealth titles.
With his appearance at Paris 2024, Daley became the first diver from Great Britain to compete at five Olympics.
There he won silver alongside Noah Williams in the men’s 10m synchro as he claimed his fifth Olympic medal.
The pair replicated their finish at the World Championships in Doha where Daley also won gold as part of the team event.

Daley has now brought his career to a close, telling Vogue that he’d already made his decision ahead of the Games: “It was emotional at the end, up there on the platform, knowing it was going to be my last competitive dive. But I have to make the decision at some point, and it feels like the right time. It’s the right time to call it a day.”
He also posted to social media, saying: “Thank you, diving ❤️ over and out ❤️”
“Incredible, right? I earn over $200 per hour from home, balancing life with 2 kids. Thanks to my friend’s $10k monthly income, I’m now doing the same. Discover how here… AND GOOD LUCK!
