Daley 'wasn't tuned in' during Rio 2016 semi-final - Taylor
Tom Daley 'wasn't tuned in' during his 10m platform semi-final, according to former mentor Leon Taylor.
Daley suffered a shock elimination, with the London 2012 bronze medallist finishing in last place, having posted a personal best score in the preliminary round.
βHe wasnβt tuned in and none of his dives were working for him,β Taylor said.
βFor whatever reason he just wasnβt in the right place.
βThe training session just before the final he was on fire but it just did not go his way,β he added.
Daley has already set his sights on the Tokyo Games in 2020, and Taylor has backed him to come back stronger.
βI love the fact he has said publically βsee you in Tokyo.β Itβll be his fourth Olympic Games and what an occasion that will be when he challenges again for those individual medals,' Taylor said.
