Diving
Olympic diving gold medallist Tom Daley will return to competition, with the goal of qualifying for the Paris 2024 Olympics.
The Great Britain star has been away from the sport for two years since the Tokyo 2020 Games in 2021.
"I don't feel I was ready to hang up my trunks!" Daley said in a video on his YouTube channel on Saturday (29 July), announcing his decision.
The 29-year-old father of two shared that he made the decision after taking son Robbie to the U.S Olympic & Paralympic Museum in Colorado Springs, where he is currently living.
"In theory I had retired, I was like, 'I'm done, I can't imagine myself going back and doing it again', so that was my time in the pool done."
"Coming out of that museum, something changed in me."
"My son Robbie said to me, 'Papa, I want to see you dive at the Olympics,' and that has kind of lit a new flame, and fire inside me, to want to see where this is going to go," Daley said.
The three-time world champion added that he wasn't sure whether he'd be able to get back to elite leve, but said, "Paris 2024 is definitely a goal."
"The journey begins, with around a year to go to Paris... as of next week you'll see my first bits of training. Fingers crossed."
