💨 Abstract

There’s a stark contrast in Tom Daley's life, shown in Discovery + document ary “1.6 Seconds.” It begins with home videos of a young Tom going through personal struggles, like homesickness, despite his early diving success. Dubbed “something special” by coaches, Tom swiftly moved up through competitive ranks, winning numerous championships. However, the documentary goes beyond his athletic achievements. He experienced bullying, media scrutiny, the loss of his father and body dysmorphia.
