Olympic diving champion Matty Lee will not defend his title in Paris 2024. The 26-year-old underwent spinal surgery a week ago.
Lee won gold in the 10m synchronized diving in Tokyo in 2021. The Briton has given up on the Paris Olympic Games and a potential double in 2024 and 2028 in Paris and Rio de Janeiro in 2028. The operation went well and the Briton feels good, even if he admits to having taken painkillers to calm the pain.
