Tom Daley in conversation

Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park was the home of the London 2012 Olympic & Paralympic Games. The venues - including London Stadium, the London Aquatics Centre, the Copper Box Arena and Lee Valley VeloPark now sit alongside innovative business districts, quality neighbourhoods, schools and universities and cultural centres.

In this episode, recorded before the recent postponement of the Tokyo 2020 Games, we talk exclusively to Team GB diver Tom Daley. Tom won the first of his two Olympic medals at the London Aquatics Centre in 2012, winning another bronze medal in 2016. He is also a two time World Champion.

Tom describes how he first dreamt about competing at the Olympic Games in London before the city had even won the bid to host the games. When London was confirmed as the host city for 2012, Tom was named as one of Team GB's main medal hopes and he describes the pressures that put on him during his preparations.

There's a real insight into how the Olympic competition unfolded for Tom in 2012 and the effect it had on his diving career as he prepares for a fourth tilt at an Olympic title in Tokyo next year.
