Chris Mears

Chris Mears is one of the most fascinating dual talents I have come across. Winning Britain's first ever Olympic diving gold at Rio 2016 alongside Jack Laugher would be a career in itself, yet he also built a parallel life as a DJ and record producer, and earned an MBE for good measure. The contrast intrigues me: the still, surgical concentration of a diver folding into the water versus the kinetic creativity of making music. Few people balance two such opposite disciplines at a high level. I admire athletes who refuse to be defined by a single lane, and Mears is a vivid example of that artistic restlessness.
