Tom Daley cries as he explains reasons behind Olympic retirement | Sport

Team GB diver Tom Daley cried as he tried to explain why he had chosen to retire from the Olympics.

Daly was asked about his retirement during a live interview with the BBC, as Team GB returned to London from Paris on Monday (12 August).

Daly, who won a silver medal alongside partner Noah Williams in the men’s synchronised 10m platform, said: “It’s hard to talk about. It’s always hard when you say goodbye to your sport.”

Crying, he said: “There are lots of things to process.

“This year felt like such a bonus. I got to perform in front of my family and kids and got to be a flag bearer.

“My bucket list was ticked off on every occasion.”
