Today the famous and young british olympic medalist Tom Daley came out in a very down to earth video statement published on youtube. He talks about his family’s reactions and how this shouldn’t be something special or worth mentioning any more than any other relationship announcement. The 19 year old became famous for his talent as an olympic diver winning a bronze medal for individual men’s 10m diving and ranking 4th in synchro 10m diving at the 2012 Summer Olympic Games. Considered as one of the “poster boys” of Team GB at the 2012 Summer Olympic Games, Daley has been the subject of a book and posed for advertisements (including a massive 24 meter tall banner on the side of the John Lewis store in Cardiff)

For more information about Tom Daley you may want to visit his personal website here, or read this 2008 Time magazine contribution about Tom in their 100 athletes to watch list, or check out his diver profile at the Plymouth diving club. If you’re less interested in his sporting performances an little bit more in his wittiness and personality (or simply his physique, ahem…) you might want to check out Team GB’s videos on youtube here (Team GB diver’s “I’m sexy and I know it” cover), and here (Team GB’s campaign for a children’s benefit).
