Summary
TOM DALEY put his Olympic heartache behind him last night by claiming Britain's first individual world diving title just two months after his 15th birthday.
After a dramatic final in Rome, Daley, who switched schools last month after being taunted by bullies, was left openmouthed in disbelief. He said later: 'Getting into the final, I just thought, "Go out there and do your best and see what happens". I thought I was going to come fourth and I would have been really happy with that. But then to come away with a medal was going to be great, then a gold medal was just insane.' Fourth place would have been a reasonable return for a diver who is still on a learning curve.
