John Watson exactly why I also said 'his outlook on life' because even after losing his poor dad he's still determined and motivated to make his dad proud and win that Gold medal no matter how long it takes.
Felt insanely proud after watching his performance in the prelims, that just shows what an amazing diver he is. Its a shame things didn't go so well the next day but hopefully Tom will keep going and get another shot at Tokyo 2020. Hope he enjoys his rest now, he deserves it!
I've been following Tom since London. His whole life has been working for competition. My heart goes out to him. I hope we will continue to be able to follow Tom.
He already proved in the prelims he can beat everyone. That was some incredible diving... he proved that he has what it takes to win gold. At this point the medal is just symbolic, but I hope he makes it to 2020, and I hope he finally snatches that gold!
I'm sorry, the Chinese diver got a much higher score in the finals than anyone else in any Olympics ever. your point is? He was just lucky during the prelim and nothing else.

wayne launer Lucky? He's been diving like that his entire life. One day messed up and everyone forgets, this guy has broken records and won world championships and Olympic medals. It's not luck that he had such an excellent score. Why is everyone being so negative...
very mature way of thinking and reacting. NO MATTER WHAT you are still the world's favorite, TOM.. a lot of people must be feeling like me and would love to be your friend even more in these circumstances than when you are winning since that is when it s the toughest... all the LOVE and SUPPORT STILL and ALWAYS!!!
Tom, I know it hurts and it is tough. Many have been down that road. Please keep up the videos on training and life energy keep sharing who you are and what works for you and most important.. know that thousands if not millions of people think the world of you.. I do hope you find the energy to give it another go.. Regardless.. you rock.. you are amazing.. and thanks for being who you are.
Dont sweat it Tom stuff like this happens but youll be back for gold in 2020 and dont let this get you down! You are younf you have at least 3 more olympics ahead of you
guys its more the sport of diving u have to look at statics it has nothing to do with his relationship with lance he helped him get back into diving wen he was at an all Time low 2013 he had bigger personal relationship problems losing his dad which was a massive heartbreak during a massive unaccountable size of a life time dream and number one life ambitions 2012 Olympics and he still manage to hold himself together. fact is I up until 2016 his eye was on the ball having won third in 2015 world champs and first in European in fact something I'm even more shocked bout is QUI BOI he been WORLD CHAMPION 3 TIMES IN A ROW 2011 2013 2015 and with tom out I sure as hell thought he was gonna get gold but he didn't even get a medal at all but even on the day nerves got to him which he even said and he under perform getting 5s than 10s within rounds dropping him from first to last
Máirín Kenny Football shouldn't be in the Olympics because almost all of the top players don't play it in, thus nullifying the point of having a sport at the Olympics.
The same old thing... when a sportsman gets married then their performance dips as his mind is only on one thing ??? sorry Tom Daley your mind was on other things in life.
Any athlete will tell you that without the support of their family and friends they wouldn't be able to compete at such a high level. Thousands of the athletes who competed in Rio brought their wife, husband, girlfriend or boyfriend with them. Tom's fiance was there for him and supported him all the way. You need to get over your narrowmindedness.
Served him right for celebrating too early for that bronze and laughed at the Chinese for crying over a silver medal in 2012. Now you know how hard it is when 1.3 billion of the Chinese might actually blame on QiuBo for not doing his best in 2012 and got the silver. And not to mention, the number of divers in China can easily outnumber every other country, you failed one competition? Other guys in China will fight their way to overtake you, so for Qiu Bo to come out again in 2016 is tremendous. Unlike this guy right here, you failed this time? Next Olympics will be yours to go because NO other divers are available in the while Entire country of GB.
As a Chinese person I would say these are some quite insightful and true points but no need for baseless assumptions and insulting Tom with supposed karma... All athletes work hard and deserve to be congratulated on their achievements, not blamed for their 'failures', China's attitude is slowly changing too, emphasising spirit rather than cold hard numbers, placing less blame on individual athletes. Crying over a silver medal, no matter how hard the situation is in China, is not an attitude that should be fostered. Chinese people know that and are moving away from the nationalist view of sport.
Anyone winning an Olympic medal are at the top of their field. Maybe you should try winning an Olympic medal and I think you would find you would have to be one of the best to get anywhere near the Olympics.
wow seriously??? how the hell is DLB ruining him? Lance literally pulled him out of his slump and Tom really appreciates him. if it wasn't for Lance, my guess is that Tom wouldn't even be here with a healthy positive mind
He and everyone else need to stop exalting his performance in the preliminaries... talking about "winning" the preliminaries. All that matters is your performance in the finals and he didn't even make that. He performed his best when it mattered least. He sucks. lol.

I love how he is so level headed and he doesn't blame anyone, or anything if he doesn't measure up to his expectations. What a great Olympic Athlete.
His outlook on the Olympic Games,sports and life is truly inspiring xx
His outlook on life? Sport can be "the cruellest thing in the world" he says. What about losing his poor dad?!
John Watson exactly why I also said 'his outlook on life' because even after losing his poor dad he's still determined and motivated to make his dad proud and win that Gold medal no matter how long it takes.
+Kaila Thompson already achieving a bronze medal at London 2012, a year after his dad passed away, was truly inspiring! :)

Tom, you're such a trooper. Wishing you the best for the coming years.
endlessly proud of him! hope he gets a good rest with family and friends xx
Such a positive interview, thank you for sharing this! Tom has so much more to achieve
He already proved in the prelims he can beat everyone. That was some incredible diving... he proved that he has what it takes to win gold. At this point the medal is just symbolic, but I hope he makes it to 2020, and I hope he finally snatches that gold!

David Bee Sure he does, considering he DID beat everyone. He just didn't do it on the right day... but he's proved that he's able to.
wayne launer Lucky? He's been diving like that his entire life. One day messed up and everyone forgets, this guy has broken records and won world championships and Olympic medals. It's not luck that he had such an excellent score. Why is everyone being so negative...
@@waynetae then how did he beat the chinese diver with an EVEN HIGHER SCORE and win the world championship the next year?
Super proud of you Tom! You're the best in my eyes 😊💕

Such a star! I wish you both all the best in the world, Tom.
Shake It Off Tom I think you and Lance are going to do amazing things that make this planet a better place
I love u tom ur recovering really well I know 2020 will be ur year
Awesome athlete.
Well done, Tom. Give it another go in 4. You're a superb athlete and seemingly a swell guy either way.
u r amazing❤️
You will try your gold next time. Now have some break, you are really inspiring and lovely
Dont sweat it Tom stuff like this happens but youll be back for gold in 2020 and dont let this get you down! You are younf you have at least 3 more olympics ahead of you
please make more tom daley
Not only a double bronze in synchro, but the first double medalist in synchro diving. Love you Tom! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💜
aww😃
Gold is what you want but any medals are good gold silver or bronze
Tom, you speaking about writing a diary after each competition, do you think you could share this diary in a book or is I too personal?
guys its more the sport of diving u have to look at statics it has nothing to do with his relationship with lance he helped him get back into diving wen he was at an all Time low 2013 he had bigger personal relationship problems losing his dad which was a massive heartbreak during a massive unaccountable size of a life time dream and number one life ambitions 2012 Olympics and he still manage to hold himself together. fact is I up until 2016 his eye was on the ball having won third in 2015 world champs and first in European in fact something I'm even more shocked bout is QUI BOI he been WORLD CHAMPION 3 TIMES IN A ROW 2011 2013 2015 and with tom out I sure as hell thought he was gonna get gold but he didn't even get a medal at all but even on the day nerves got to him which he even said and he under perform getting 5s than 10s within rounds dropping him from first to last
Ahhhh !
"The Olympics are the pinnacle of anybody's sporting career"
I bet Neymar would rather have a World Cup winners medal over his Olympic gold.
Golf is another sport where the gold medal is not the pinnacle, the top 4 players in the world never even went.
Tennis also.
kjbarca10717 But it is the point, because there's something he'd rather have.
Football shouldn't be in the Olympic games because it already has a league
Máirín Kenny Football shouldn't be in the Olympics because almost all of the top players don't play it in, thus nullifying the point of having a sport at the Olympics.

+Danielle Carter simmer a down
which must be why he won the world championship like a month after getting married to his husband
married with a kid now/ and just won the olympics

+Vivian when the idiot above hasn't got a good excuse for a comeback so results to insulting you. Very low :')
+Emily Platts when someone calling somebody else low for not able to come back with a solid argument. lmao. look into the mirror please. hahaha
+wayne launer again, such a weak response. Well done.
Oh no One of Great Britain's only few decent athletes choked, interview some god damn winners (Americans)
Hmm Great Britain are 2nd you Yankee twat
As well as the US being like 100x larger 😂
Tom Daley is a bronze medal specialist, definitely not one of our good athletes
Anyone winning an Olympic medal are at the top of their field. Maybe you should try winning an Olympic medal and I think you would find you would have to be one of the best to get anywhere near the Olympics.
he probably also believes that America "is the greatest country in the world" -____-
DLB is ruining him . Run away from him Tom
wow seriously??? how the hell is DLB ruining him? Lance literally pulled him out of his slump and Tom really appreciates him. if it wasn't for Lance, my guess is that Tom wouldn't even be here with a healthy positive mind
I'm sure Tom will be consulting you, random, ball-less, cowardly anonymous RUclips poster before making any future life decisions. Eyeroll.
The level of homophobia among these comments is as disturbing as they are hilarious!
He and everyone else need to stop exalting his performance in the preliminaries... talking about "winning" the preliminaries. All that matters is your performance in the finals and he didn't even make that. He performed his best when it mattered least. He sucks. lol.
the world champion sucks? 2 olympic medals, and an olympic record... think again
he beat the olympic winner to become world champion.
