The diving Olympic champion has spent two years out of the sport after winning gold at the Tokyo games
Olympic champion Tom Daley has said he will come out of virtual retirement and return to the pool to target a spot at Paris 2024.
Daley, 29, won Olympic gold alongside Matty Lee in the men’s synchronised 10 metre platform at the Tokyo Games, his fourth Olympics after his debut as a teenager at Beijing 2008.
The three-time world champion has taken two years out since then, saying he had “in theory retired”, but in a new YouTube video he said a recent trip to Colorado Springs in the United States had reignited his competitive spirit with a year to go until Paris.
Daley and his husband Dustin Lance Black travelled to Colorado for the birth of their second son, with Daley saying he had not realised its status as an Olympic city until they arrived. He then took eldest son Robbie to the museum there and felt inspired to attempt a return.
