[@brianmatthews1736]

I hope this absolute champion decides to coach diving...it would be amazing to see him coach up a young man just like him!!!

[@kennethdodemaide8678]

You are a champion in life as well as sport, Tom. Enjoy your retirement and life with your family. You have raised the profile of diving in the UK and given it your all. Thank you for letting us share your life and wonderful achievements.

[@DalitisHebrewnotHindu]

Beautiful human being.

This is not a big surprise…thank you Tom for all the wonderful years of diving……your whole life is in front of you….❤Donna in Toronto

Congrats, Tom, on so many Olympics and so many Olympic medals! Choosing to retire is a challenging decision. I had severe angst in my profession when the time came to choose my retirement date, 6 years ago, but I have enjoyed my retirement years with my family and friends, and, as an added bonus, I've had time to watch you be the diver you've become. I have good news for you: you might have retired from sports, but like me, you are a parent, and even when they leave home, it is a lifetime commitment! Enjoy being a husband, a parent, a brother, a son, an uncle, AND an Olympic Games Gold/Silver/Bronze Winner!!!

[@garysinclairbarsby6675]

Well done Tom, we are all proud of your achievements. Enjoy your family time with Lance, Robbie & Phoenix. ❤😊❤

[@veronicarwall3812]

[@snoopybrown2438]

You will always be remembered as a true Olympic diving legend Tom! Happy retirement..💝

[@maida-vale]

No shame in deep emotion Tom: it's all you've ever known and before you see yourself starting to slip from the heights of the game it IS a wise move. My love to you, Lance and the boys but it must hurt you, it really must and let the tears flow. Luv from Zomerzette xxxx!!!!

Wow Congruation 🎉 Tom Daley 🎉🥳🥳😊😊♥️♥️💯💯👏🤟😘

[@djkid22]

We love you Tom! You'll still be around. You can always coach, judge, mentor or just support your team. You could potentially still do a couple more Olympics if you so choose!! I know it's a huge commitment and pretty much takes four years to stay in shape and keep at the same pace if not better. Congrats on all you've done for the sport and your communities!

[@chiusacan18754]

A great man, husband and father. Great to say good bye at the peak of his career and to enjoy the five olympics. Great to the British for having a great sportman in their team. Go Tom! the children and the husband are waiting for you.....

[@annemacleod1421]

Oh, bless him! He is such a delight …he’ll be doing something meaningful no matter what. His comeback for Paris has been surreal…he has so much to be proud of. 🐑🐑🇳🇿🇳🇿New Zealand

[@sdgidney4139]

Tom Daley 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤

[@darksider9534]

He should be very proud of himself. He achieved everything anyone could dream of, beautiful family, married with kids, established career with probably enough savings for life all at the age of 30! Something we can all only dream of...

[@Mlmv266]

But he is still young? Hope he is successful and happy in everything he does in the next chapter of his life! God bless you Tom Daley and your family!

[@nicoletrudell2065]

It's wild to think that while he's so young, he has been competing for 23 years. That's longer staying power in his sport than many athletes have.

[@Zhiperser]

He's 30. He's been to 5 Olympic games. Fairly normal to retire by 30 in sports like this.

[@wisconsinbound2123]

Well done Tom, enjoy retirement you earned it

[@Caocao8888]

I cried real tears…

[@johntaylor6345]

Tom. You will be greatly missed. You are so talented and the best diver Britain has ever produced. Maybe you're son Robbie may take up the sport when he is older. Thanks for all the fantastic competing. Happy retirement.

[@towertokyo]

You are loved by Japanese,too. We are waiting for you coming back to Japan.

[@kakaivelaskwez3308]

I wish he wins individual gold medal in 10m platform. Maybe he will change his mind in LA28❤

[@MikeCee7]

As an American, they only showed about 30 minutes of the men’s platform diving on network TV. Did Daley even entered the men’s 10 meter (solo) platform? Or did he not make it past the first round?

[@finners62]

He didn’t enter the individual

[@MikeCee7]

@@finners62 Thanks for your reply. Was there a specific reason that he didn’t compete in the men’s 10 meter individual platform? Seems to me he would’ve got at least a bronze medal again. (since his syncro diving partner receive a bronze medal) I’ve tried to search on KZbin, and I only just brings up thousands of videos of his past accomplishments. - I know he only specializes in platform diving (and not springboard diving) I was just curious of why he did not compete in the men’s individual 10 meter platform diving at Paris 2024?

[@chrisfinlay3274]

@@MikeCee7as far as I know he came out of retirement only 12 months before the games. His former synchro partner was injured so a spot on the synchro team was available. Two divers were already entered into the individual competition and would have trained over the last three years for it. That’s my guess, apart from the fact that at 30 he did not want to put extra stress on his body.

[@MikeCee7]

@@chrisfinlay3274 Ok, Thanks for that information.

[@daniels7907]

He's commented about being one the older divers in the past. But he still won a silver this time (congrats to Noah as well!) and he got the gold he wanted so long at the last Olympics. So his career can absolutely be considered a success. Hopefully he will still act as a voice for LGBTQ+ people given his high profile.

[@doctheop3034]

The voice over has weirdly stilted cadence. Is it AI?

[@kellytyrrell1253]

How about it Tom? There’s a lotta kids out there. Maybe you could be their hero?

[@Whooadizz]

So what's next? Be a coach?

[@CuriousPotato-z1d]

He's only 30, he's got another Olympics in him. Once he's been laying on a beach for a while, he'll get the itch again. You're a long time retired, Tom.

[@bbjack4327]

Hes a dad ?!?! I did not know that

Man up! You work 2 weeks every 4 years. Like come on

[@bsmusicd]

Tell me you know nothing about competitive diving without telling me you know nothing about competitive diving. Seriously... do you think Olympic athletes only compete at the Olympics and only train two weeks out of the year?

[@garydavies8307]

Thank goodness he has retired

[@willywilz]

🤮🤮🤮

[@alexzylstra6705]

He's upset because the guys from france has bigger weiners and they took the gold. Poor Baby.

Weird comment. What guys from France?
