Pretty, who works for Getty Images, the official photographers of the International Olympic Committee, captured this amazing shot during last year’s Youth Olympics in Singapore.
World champion Daley didn’t medal at the inaugural event but this photo, taken during the preliminary of the 3m springboard, certainly deserved it’s top of the podium place at the World Press Photo Awards.
