After finishing fourth in the 10m Synchro at Sydney 2000, he won Great Britain's first Olympic diving medal since for 44 years at Athens 2004, teaming up with Leon Taylor for bronze in the 10m Synchro. He has also excelled internationally in the individual 10m Platform, winning Commonwealth gold in 2002 then silver four years later. While injury problems have disrupted Pete's progress since finishing 13th in the 10m Platform at the Beijing Olympic Games in 2008, he won World Cup bronze on his first visit to London Aquatics Centre in February 2012.
