After first winning the world championship eight years ago he has won it again. But what an eventful eight years it has been.
He was only fifteen when he won it before and he has been in the limelight, sometimes not a good place to be, since then. It takes guts to go on and survive and even win gold again in any sport but he has had the added pressure of coming out as gay and then getting married. So many young people who become famous at an early age, in sport or entertainment or whatever, do not resist the temptations that follow and for a sportsman it is even harder with all the training.
Fabulous final dive that had to be perfect for him to win, and he did. He said that he can now go on his belated honeymoon.
Well done.

If you need judges is it really a proper Sport?

^ Agreed - and ...
Which part of the LGBT team do you play for - OP, annie? |

Funny expression that: "world champion -- he deserves it". Surely any champion deserves it by going faster or scoring more points (or fewer in the case of golf) than the opposition?

I'm really pleased for him. Congratulations, Tom |

No, onlooker, I am not gay. I have been out with women but usually only the ones that look and act like men.

BBC absolutely Delighted with proceedings

I can't wrap my head around it though, the media love it but wont tell us the full story. they've obviously got a surrogate mother who wont be getting one bit of media exposure. 2 men and a baby... 100 years ago this wouldn't have happened, the locals would have seen to that. nowadays its celebrated and no one can say a work. its flipped on its head and utterly mad.

Must be very hard to carry a Child for 9 months then Hand it over to brought up by a Straight couple the Mind boggles how one
would feel that is was going to be raised by two men ? As stated the Liberal Media luv it ,Why ??? All seems extremely Strange to me ,Shirley if u are Gay you would think Well I wont be having a Family ? and accept that ? Dont get me Wrong the Child will probably have a Fabulous upbringing ,but it seems like they are Buying children as if they are some sort of Must have .. |
|
By:
a couple of million will help her get over it, in years to come wonder what % kids brought up by gay couples end up gay themselves,high I,d guess

Another long running freak show and guaranteed coverage by the BBC.
Surrogacy doesn't always have a happy ending you would have thought they would keep a low profile, it just seems a bit creepy. Kids have enough problems growing up and this isn't going to be easy especially if it's a boy. |

This is child abuse, shirley? Daley says he wants a team of them. How is this sort of thing allowed???
