Tom Daley hits back at Russian TV portrayal as a 'British homosexual' after winning diving bronze

Daley acknowledged that while there are a record number of LGBT Olympians in Tokyo, attitudes needed to be far more progressive. I feel extremely proud of that.” Daley eyes shot at fifth Games in Paris A fire has been rekindled in Tom Daley at these Tokyo Olympics, to the point where a diver once reconciled to retirement is seriously considering a tilt at his fifth Games in three years’ time. Ultimately, I love the sport, and I feel like I’m just getting back into the swing of things now.” Daley received a pithy piece of advice from Jane Figueiredo, his Zimbabwean coach, as he set out in search of his second Olympic gold in 12 days. “Just let rip,” she instructed, understanding the sense of liberation her protégé would feel after securing his long-awaited synchronised title alongside Matty Lee. If I was younger, I’d give it an attempt, but I don’t know if my body would allow me to do that any longer.” For all Yang’s pyrotechnics, a second medal-winning masterclass by Daley was quite the flourish with which to conclude a glorious Olympic campaign.
