Reacting to Old Videos From 2008! | OLYMPIC DAY | Tom Daley

I was nine years old when I first jumped off 10-meter brilliant brilliant yeah we used to see brilliant amazing brilliant I have too many teeth in my mouth [Music] hi guys welcome back a few weeks ago I put on my Instagram some video things that what should i do what should i record for you guys what would you like to see and one of them actually was to react to videos or photos of myself before my first Olympics in like 2008 which is now like 11 years ago because I'm getting ready for my fourth Olympic Games so I've now got in front of me lots of different videos that are on YouTube and photos of what I was like in 2008 so Gavin ill watch [Music] before they were superstar [Applause] [Music] [Applause] when I'm going to Beijing for the experience just to see what the whole Olympic experience is gonna be going to be about we've about the experience here Tom goes yeah in 2008 Tom Daley was starting to attract considerable media attention in his native Britain we used to train in a squash court and that's what that was it was a converted squash court with dry boards and stuff and this is the old pool implement acosta at the Beijing Olympics where he would be the country's youngest competitor and the youngest of any nationality outside the sport of swimming but not summer really like a whirlwind this year since a qualification for the Olympics is there was nine years old when I first jumped autometer and it was terrifying I was on the edge like holding on to the railings and I just crawling to the end of the board almost and when I had butterflies and it was terrifying but once I did it one you want to do it again and again and again well the first time I saw him he's still on a full-sized crying and didn't actually dive at all I made the great statement that I didn't think he would ever be a diver luckily I did see him actually get into the pool [Music] tom was training for 3 hours a day during school term time and more during the holidays leaving limited time for other activities doesn't miss out he's got a lot of friends within the sport all across the country all across Europe all across the world and he's happy with it so he's happy that we're happy with it you do miss out on lots of stuff but then just what you have to do to become an elite athlete and if you want to succeed you just have to sacrifice little things but it's been worth it so far whoever edited this was definitely kind of trying to contradict what my dad just said I didn't really miss out on things what I meant was that I was you miss out on you do miss out on being able to eat whatever you want and be able to do whatever you want during the day because you know I have to Train and I feel that but at the same time like I loved it so come on now editor I've kind of had to grow up quite quickly because I'm always constantly with older people and like all the divers are older than me so I just started to act like man and while I'm going to Beijing for the experience just to see what the whole Olympic experience is gonna be going to be about and I'm not expecting anything when I go there I'm just going out there hopefully to do a good performance and learn from anything that I do wrong or do good and take it forward to 2012 yeah okay what's next there North next the countdown to the Summer Olympics continues on world sport now as we take the plunge in Plymouth with Great Britain's 14 year old diving sensation diving sensation didn't expect that's horse being this Olympic so it's more expecting London 2012 although I've worked hard for it thinking I might have an outside chance I didn't expect to be pretty selected at the first instance the inner picture is going to be a massive challenge but it's going to be so much fun and I've got nothing to lose out there baby's diligence has brought with it an astonishing rate of success he was just thirty main Crown British number one in January of this year the European Championships in Holland I remember I suggested all those times and just not even think about it like when I was younger I literally was able to stand on the end of the board and just know that I was gonna land upright without even knowing how or why or what I needed to do it just happened I think it's because you when as you get older you think too much you worry about things you worry I think going wrong and you know back then wasn't it care in the world fantastic that should be an optical engine the great brick we're looking at the youngest european gaiden champion of all time going into the european championships i didn't expect anything really I was just going there mainly good experience just to get what am I talking about this experience experience experience experience although by now I am probably one of the most experienced divers out there so I guess it did help a little bit Big Shot but it was a really good experience that big tree immersed daily in the media spotlight all these cameras I couldn't do that right now I'm not sure if I was training and all those cameras are there not a chance have a look at this we will wipe that what we would not see these past few days training and that's pretty much it training get it out there's a new yeah yeah that's a great war on the 14 yeah what are you doing yeah nothing been pretty much just training yeah just training yeah but you went to the wall didn't you the Great Wall of China that's classic 14 year old in it that yeah we've double my view no nothing just training you went to the Great Wall of China that's pretty damn cool just your training give myself a slap when I put the cable car and then came down and toboggan started yeah how was it [ __ ] brilliant video here we are on crafts school hey Tom I used to be a right Janna we used to see brilliant amazing brilliant well yeah just finish in the last room I did work in progress yeah okay inside yet so no mistakes so far man always been into the rings apparently I'm so gonna see you smiling on the diving boards yeah definitely when I see you on there tell mother I used to be like really innocent and cute and again I was just like yeah I'm gonna have fun I'm gonna smile and it's gonna be great no Mike yeah it's gonna be great he's cocky supremely confident hang on a minute pier 6 reporter calling me cocky cocky bukoza 14 you little boy cocky cocky confident and extremely cool I think they're just looking for words for alliteration they're very cool he's a 13 year old prodigy who's mastered the complex physical and mental demands of the high board Tom Daley was bad and a large part of his life is now spent looking down from the intimidating height of the 10 meter ball [Music] some diving videos now I used to just literally hit the water with no splash I'm too big for that now no clutch um that one [Applause] prelim as well save some any of this one then oh my days I literally I tell you I never used to even think about going in or it just happens looking forward to London 2012 so it was a bonus for me to qualify for this Beijing Olympics so I'm just really looking forward to getting out there just getting experience from it because that's all I want from this Olympics I just want to go out there have fun see what it's going to be about and then just if I do something wrong in this Olympics then learn from it if I didn't good to take that experience and take it into London 2012 I'll remind myself of Lady gaga here you know the if there's a hundred people in the room and 99 don't believe in you but wonder you know that that quote it can be a hundred people in a room and 99 don't believe in you but all you need is just for one person to believe that it's me here it's all about the experience if I do something bad on Oprah but isn't it good I'll learn commit everyone has always been my dreams of an Olympic medal but I'm not expecting to win it here I'd rather like to work a little bit harder going into London 22 12 we see what had happened then oh there you go they don't worry about doing it now do it later two hours late Tom you did don't worry don't worry your little self you got all the experience you need it well in China diving's quite a big sports so like walking around the streets sometimes you do get people recognizing you and in the village as well as some of the Chinese staff and also at the diving pool there's been a few people recognizing me but it's kind of weird because when you're little and you always dream of being that person up there or famous and it's it's it's kind of weird to start becoming that and getting recognized because it's it's just really weird you don't expect it to happen to you oh I literally was a little baby I was a little baby this would call me baby daily but I barely remember anything from those 2008 Olympics it's kind of nuts I do have a diary actually from each the Olympics maybe that could be a fun YouTube video to read out my diary from like each Olympics or like certain parts of it anyway that could be fun now we're on to some photos oh my goodness that is kind of crazy look how much smaller I was in 2008 compared to 2016 like it's kind of nuts that is that's what you call a strange man conditioning program also probably the fact that I'm 22 there and only 14 and the other one eight years apart but geez I powered on some pounds oh did something wrong there didn't I yeah I used to be quite dramatic and like you know really let my coach know but I knew that I'd done something wrong because I always felt like I had to like let him know that I did something wrong there and I knew what it was so you don't have to tell me I'm annoying when I think about it but anyway next one or those are some Nash's on a that is why I have braces I had too many teeth in my mouth oh and there's eye and there's ears and that forehead small Todd I've still got big forehead it's all right nothing changes I still cannot get over that photo like that I looked search about to be different compared to what I look like in 2008 and there it's kind of nuts I mean I look like a different person well I think maybe I don't know maybe a bit of it too dramatic but I think I look like a different person oh the thing I'm standing on the edge of the board I was just so buzzing now I got time off of school I thought yeah I'm not going through the last couple of weeks of school I'm going Beijing a little my little wrist guards I'm still ripped for a 14 year old that was the opening ceremony of 2008 I can remember being so so buzzing to think that we were about to compete in the Olympic Games the first one ever I had stuff all over my face I was sweaty it was hot we have to sit in like this Gymnastics arena for like 40 minutes but actually 40 minutes that was an under estimate no three hours or something stupid like that while we were waiting to like for our country to be called out it was one of the most amazing things to walk out and hear the cheers and just be part of that atmosphere of an Olympic opening ceremony it's so much fun that is what you Sassie oh my goodness look on my hip hop to the side oh don't do that again Tom oh my god I literally still can't get over how big my floor it is I mean I've got big for it yeah I get it but look even back then I had my gosh absolutely nuts well that was a little bit of a blast in the past there you know me from two hours away it's kind of its kind of weird looking back and like thinking about what I knew then what I know now and like what I would tell myself the 2008 self I need to give me advice cuz I remember being so carefree and like so excited about everything and so looking forward to competing and doing all that fun as ever I just enjoyed it and didn't worry about what anyone else thought and need a bit more of that maybe I should take some advice from him hope you enjoyed the video leave a comment below tell me what you thought and in the meantime don't forget
