Here is the emotional moment Fred Sirieix consoled daughter Andrea as she revealed the real reason for her Olympic tears. Andrea has been competing in the 2024 Paris games where she managed to win a bronze medal in the 10m synchro diving last night. However, the 19-year-old finished in sixth place on Tuesday for the second Olympics in a row.
She has previously been open about struggling with anxiety after competing in the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 which led her to almost give up her sport. Fred joined his daughter poolside as he was working for the BBC . The TV star put his arm around his daughter as he said: "It's sport.
Some days you win and some days you lose. And yesterday you did brilliant." Andrea then replied: "It doesn't take away from the year.
" While looking at text messages, Fred added: "Kevin, you know, he said to me, 'Let Andrea know the whole country is proud of her. My daughter wants to try diving because of her. She's a superhero.
' Look at all the texts coming in. You did your best Andrea." In an interview after the diving competition, Andrea said: "Three years ago, I didn't even want to be alive, so today I'm just happy that I am alive, that I'm breathing and that I've got my family to support me.
After Tokyo, it was a really scary time for myself. That is why I treasure every morning because my eyes have woken up and I have got breath in my lungs. I woke up this morning and the first thought that I had was that I am happy I woke up.
That's just how it has been .
