Last night they had a special section about Thomas Daley. He is an impressive young man. I hope he does well.

Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...

They being NBC

they presented a section on his ability to become an Olympic Athlete

I was impressed with his ability to be in the Olympics at the age of 14

He is one of the divers for Great Britain.

It dies seem to vary here are just a few I found

The youngest minimum age stated is 14(diving and bobsled), but that's not for all sports. It's 18 for team handball, 17 for wrestling and weightlifting. Gymnastics and figure skating is 16.
