Great Britain’s Tom Daley has won the bronze medal in the men’s 10m platform at Tokyo 2020.
The 27-year-old from Plymouth started the final in great fashion and led the competition at the halfway stage ahead of China’s Cao Yuan and world champion Yang Jian.
But despite a series of impressive dives which scored him more than 90 points each, he had to settle for third place with an overall score of 548.25.

Yuan pipped his compatriot Jian to the gold medal with a stunning 102.60-point final dive despite the latter posting the best dive of the competition with 112.75 points.
It’s Daley’s first individual Olympic medal since he won bronze at London 2012, and his second at the Tokyo Games after his gold in the synchronised 10m platform with Matty Lee.
