Need some inspiration? Looking for a sporting hero to copy? Then look no further than thirteen-year-old Tom Daley from Plymouth in the UK.
Tom is the new European swimming champion following his win at the European Swimming Competitions (E.S.C) in the Netherlands. Tom won the competition by being the best at diving. His dives were perfect according to sports experts in the fourth and fifth rounds of the games, where he scored his best results. His success qualified him for the Olympic Games in Beijing, and he was feeling very proud. He told the BBC, “To finish up and be standing on the top of the podium (领奖台) with your national anthem playing is not something that happens every day.”
