The 22-year-old Daley will compete in the 10-meter category and 10M synchronized event with Daniel Goodfellow.

Daley is part of an 11-member team announced by the British Olympic Association on Friday.

He says "to have the confirmation that I'm going to my third Olympic Games is really exciting. Rio was amazing when we went in February and I can't wait to go back and see what the pool will look like.
