December 17 "born to the PURPLE"
featuring Tom Daley - OBE (Order of the British Empire), born 1994
Tom is a British diver and television personality. Specializing in multiple events, he was an Olympic gold medallist in the men’s synchronized ten-meter platform event at the 2020 Olympics and double world champion in the FINA ten-meter platform event, winning in 2009 at the age of fifteen, and again in 2017. He is an Olympic bronze medallist in the 2012 platform event, the 2016 synchronized event, and the 2020 platform event, making him the first British diver to win four Olympic medals. Daley also competed in team events, winning the inaugural mixed team World title in 2015. He is a 5-time European champion and a 4-time Commonwealth champion.
On 2 December 2013, Tom released a YouTube video announcing that he had been in a relationship with a man since early that year. He said speaking out about his private life had been a tough decision. Still, he had never felt love, which happened quickly when he met his husband, American film screenwriter, director and producer Dustin Lance Black.
One of the world’s most prominent out gay athletes, Tom got set to make his fifth Olympic appearance at the summer Games in Paris.
His partner for this year was Noah Williams, who competed with Daley the first time at the British National Diving Cup, where the pair won gold.
Congratulations have been granted by Mark England to Tom, who becomes the first British diver to compete at five Olympic Games.
Daley’s return to the Olympics was likely his last after the diver said he wanted to return one final time so his son could see him compete.
