Tom Daley ended his long wait for an Olympic gold medal with a sublime display alongside Matty Lee in a nerve-filled men's synchronised 10m platform event at Tokyo 2020. For Daley - now 27 - it marks a first gold medal at his fourth Olympic Games and he wept with joy on the podium, while Lee - four years his junior - can contemplate gold at the first time of asking. "I still can't honestly believe what is happening," Daley told BBC Sport. Daley, who married husband Dustin Lance Black in 2017, has said becoming a father offered him "a different headspace" going into the Tokyo Games. With Lee's steadfast help, at last he has his gold medal.
