Watch: Tom Daley wins 10m diving bronze at Tokyo 2020

Tom Daley was cheered on to a second medal in Tokyo from afar by his three-year-old son as he became the first Briton to win four Olympic medals in diving.

Daley's husband, Dustin Lance Black, posted the video of little Robbie waving the British flag and singing "Go Papa Go" as Tom progressed to his second final of the Games.

Daley performed heroically in the final to claim bronze in the men's 10m individual platform - his second medal of Tokyo 2020 - following gold in the 10m synchro platform.

Daley hailed the sacrifices his family has made after the event. "Becoming an Olympic champion was something that I always dreamed of and, after Rio and the disappointment, my husband said to me that maybe it didn't happen this time because your son was meant to watch you do it, and my son watched me become an Olympic champion, so extremely happy with that.”

Daley has been one of the faces of the Tokyo Olympics after his heroics in the pool, as well as his superb knitting skills over the last two weeks.

He has made a special pouch for his gold medal, won with partner Matty Lee, and then revealed his finished Team GB jumper that he was spotted creating poolside.

It was no surprise, then, when he joked that it was "nice to represent Team Great Knitting" in Tokyo after winning his second medal.

An emotional Daley also said that husband Lance had been his "rock" in the build-up to Tokyo.

"He has put up with me and sacrificed so much, moved to the UK so I can train," he told BBC Sport.

"I wish that my dad was here to have seen me at these Olympic Games winning two Olympic medals.

"He would be jumping up, and he'd probably be in the pool by now."

Daley revealed that he nearly didn't make the Tokyo Games after a knee injury in May, but was now looking forward to "a couple of margaritas" as he mulls his options ahead of Paris 2024.

He added: "I feel like a different athlete. Back at the end of May I tore my meniscus and had knee surgery - I didn’t know if I would make these games!

"If someone told me I would win a gold and a bronze, I probably would have laughed in their face!

"I’m going to have a bit of a break, a couple of margaritas! I feel like 2018 was my down year, but now I’m on my way back up and my body is feeling good… so we’ll see."
