    (Reuters) – Tom Daley has announced his retirement from diving at the age of 30, the five-times Olympic medallist said on Monday.

    Daley, who won silver in the men’s synchronised 10-metre platform event in Paris and gold in the same event in Tokyo in 2021, had decided last year to come back from retirement at the request of his older son.

    “It was emotional at the end, up there on the platform, knowing it was going to be my last competitive dive,” Daley told British Vogue.

    “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.”
