female diving commentator with british accent

As I sit down to discuss the rise of Great Britain's diving stars with my colleague, I'm reminded of the unique bond between Tom Daley and his long-time partner, Grace Reid. The female diving commentator with a distinctive British accent is an integral part of their success story.

'Body paragraphs'

Grace has been on teams with Tom since she was just 7 years old, and it's easy to see why their partnership has continued to flourish. With three bronzes and a silver together in the previous four rounds of the FINA World Diving Series in the Synchronised 3m springboard, they're a force to be reckoned with.

One of the things I love about diving is that there's always something going on – you're never bored. And Grace agrees, admitting that she loves how every day brings new challenges and opportunities. 'I did everything wrong in that first week and got that fear,' she says, 'but it's scary how quickly you adapt.'

For Grace, the journey to success has been a long and winding one. Growing up in Edinburgh, she admits to crying in her flat when she first moved to London to take advantage of the Olympic Park's state-of-the-art facilities and become Tom's regular training partner. Fast forward to today, and she's fully settled in London – and loving it.

'The FINA World Diving Series has been an incredible experience,' Grace says. 'There's definitely been a shift – we've got so much depth and so much talent in Great Britain, we're so fortunate.' And with Reid's upward trajectory, it seems that when British diving success is discussed, Tom Daley's name is no longer the only one on everyone's lips.

The pair followed up their bronze medal win at the FINA World Diving Series with a silver medal at the next year's World Championships. For Grace, this was just another chapter in an already-promising career – she became European champion for the first time in 2016, winning gold alongside Tom in the Mixed 3m synchro.

It's clear that Grace is truly at peace with her life both in and out of the pool. And when you enter a room with her, it's hard not to notice her infectious smile – a sign of a diver who knows she's exactly where she's meant to be.

'Conclusion paragraph'

As we wrap up our conversation, I'm struck by the sense of purpose that Grace exudes. It's clear that her partnership with Tom has been a game-changer for both of them, and I can't wait to see what the future holds for this talented duo – and indeed for British diving as a whole. With athletes like Grace Reid leading the charge, it seems that the best is yet to come.
