Example Sentences
He was 14 when he made his Games debut at Beijing 2008, and last Monday - 5,831 days on - returned for his fifth Games in Paris, winning silver alongside Noah Williams in the men's synchro 10m platform.
Errors by his rivals had opened up the podium positions going into the final round and Williams - who won 10m synchro silver with Tom Daley earlier in the Games - delivered a forward four and a half somersaults dive that scored 94.35 to give him a total of 497.35.
"It's literally a dream – I said that last time with synchro but individually winning a medal, doing it yourself, is a whole other level and I don't think it's sunk in because I'm nowhere near as emotional as last time," Williams told BBC Sport.
Daley and Williams followed that with silver in the men's 10m synchro platform before Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix and Lois Toulson took Great Britain's first ever medal in the women's event with a bronze.
After four synchro medals, this is Britain's only individual diving medal.
