The coach of British diving prodigy Tom Daley has played down the chance of him winning a medal at the Beijing Olympics.

Tom Daly who is just 14 years old is Britain’s second youngest Olympian of all time. He will no doubt gain valuable experience in Beijing which he will be able to benefit from at the London 2012 Olympics.

“Lots of people say ‘go and get the gold’ and I just think I’ve got no chance. I don’t think I’ll get anywhere near a medal,” Tom Daley was reported as saying.
