This is the story of Tokyo Olympics gold-medal-winner, Tom Daley, and his journey to greatness.

Tom Daley is British diver specialising in the 10-metre platform event and has been competing internationally since he was twelve years old. Born and raised in Plymouth, Tom was spotted by a coach during one of his diving lessons and since then has been a force to be reckoned with in the sport. This is the story of how a young boy went from lessons at his local pool to a star on the international stage, winning two gold medals in the 2010 Commonwealth Games as well as bronze in the 2012 and 2016 Olympics.
