Tom Daley to attempt new ‘firework’ dive in Rio Olympics

Posted on at


Great Britain's Tom Daley has revealed that he will debut a new routine “firework dive” to replace his "demon dive". The Briton, 20, admits taking on the new routine, comprising 3.5 somersaults with one twist, is a gamble.

"Changing is a risky decision, but you have to take risks if you want to win Olympic medals," Daley, 2012 Olympic bronze medalist told.

"Lots of people who have seen the dive have told me it's like a little firework because you don't expect it. It just happens at the end - a massive twist. So hopefully instead of the demon dive I'll have a firework dive instead."
