Olympic hopeful Tom Daley had better watch his back - there's a new diver vying for a place on the Team GB squad.

This adorable penguin was given the chance to try out a new board given to London Zoo as a gift to celebrate its successful Animal Athletes programme - and he enjoyed every second of it.

'Penguins love nothing more than to show off their diving skills,' says head bird keeper Adrian Walls

We reckon 17-year-old Tom had better up his game or this cute critter might snap up his place in the 2012 team!
