Daley cautious over 2012 dreams

Britain's young diving star Tom Daley has admitted that he is not getting carried away ahead of the Olympic Games in London next summer.

The teenager is a former 10-metre platform world champion and double gold medalist at the Commonwealth Games but is apprehensive about being too optimistic ahead of next summer's spectacular.

Daley told Sky Sports News: "I don't particularly think of any expectations for 2012.

"I don't think about outcome goals, I think about going in there and trying to do the best performance I can.

"I can only concentrate on my performance and then the results will look after themselves. There are eight people that can come away with a gold medal, so it will be interesting to see what will happen."

Despite being only 17-years-old, the Olympics next summer will be Daley's second after he represented Team GB in Beijing in 2008.
