The British diver, who recently won a silver medal in Paris, announced his retirement in an interview with British Vogue published Aug. 12. “It was emotional at the end, up there on the platform, knowing it was going to be my last competitive dive,” he told British Vogue. Lots of things to process, but I think it’s the right time,” Daley told the outlet. Great Britain's Tom Daley competes during the 2024 Paris Olympic Games in France. “I would love for people to remember me for being a person that persevered, who persisted and didn’t give up on his dream until he was able to achieve it,” he told British Vogue.
