Meanwhile, in the diving pool, Tom Daley secured a silver medal in the men’s 10m platform event. The 27-year-old, who won bronze in Rio and gold in Tokyo, produced a solid series of dives to finish behind China’s Cao Yuan.

After the event, Daley expressed his gratitude for the support he received from fans and teammates. He said, “I’m so proud to represent my country and to come away with a silver medal is a dream come true. It’s been an incredible journey and I’m grateful for all the love and encouragement.”
With these impressive performances, Team GB continues to excel at the Paris Olympics, showcasing the talent and determination of British athletes on the world stage.
It’s a long way off. We’ll see how the body holds up. I’m just going to enjoy this moment and we’ll see what happens. Canter added: I’m speechless. It’s a dream come true. To be here with this team and to come away with gold is just amazing.
