Daley driven by China rivalry

Winning the best diver award on the doorstep of his mighty Chinese opponents has motivated Tom Daley to work harder than ever for an Olympic breakthrough.

Daley has led the rest of the world's charge against China's dominance for years, upsetting his rivals in a number of major events - and he did it again at the 2017 FINA World Aquatics Gala in Sanya on Saturday.

The Briton, who won the 10m platform at the Budapest world championships in July, was named the 2017 Best Male Diver at a ceremony attended by numerous Chinese diving greats, including the retired Guo Jingjing, five-time Olympic gold medalist Wu Minxia and last year's men's 10m Olympic champion Chen Aisen, who lost to Daley in Budapest.
