My dad was an incredibly brave man, completely dedicated to his family, with a love for all. If I could be half the dad he was, to my children, then that will be an achievement in itself. He died 14 months exactly to the start of the 2012 Olympics. I hope he will be watching and waving his big union jack in London from somewhere else. I love you so much dad.

I didn't look at any of the newspapers, I look at the pictures sometimes, but apart from that I don't read them.

I'm not allowed to celebrate as normal eighteen year olds probably would but I'm going to save it for after the Olympics!

Training hasn't been consistent for the last week or so which was a bit annoying, but going into the competition I just had to get myself into the right mind frame.

Finishing overall champion at the World Series in both the individual and synchro events has given me great confidence and I'm pleased I've been diving with consistency.

It means so much to be European champion again with a personal best and I couldn’t have asked for anything more.

While everyone else is in the spa, im gonna shower because im Tom Daley
