Tom Daley

Tom Daley was seen at the Olympics using his knitting tools while he watched the women's diving competition.

The Team Great Britain diver often worked on his knitting projects while sitting by the pool at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. He enjoyed watching his teammate, Jack Laugher, win a bronze medal.

During his recent visit to Paris, he returned to his hobby of knitting cardigans while showing his support for Yasmin Harper and Scarlett Mew.

This morning, the two athletes earned the Bronze medal in the Women's Synchronized 3m Springboard event following a sudden setback from the Australian team.

Daley has been consistently demonstrating his knitting abilities, sharing various projects like a cream sweater featuring the Team GB logo in 2021.

Tom Daley is busy with his knitting while keeping an eye on the Women's Synchronised 3m Springboard Final.

The diver inspects his handiwork as he observes the women's diving competition at the Aquatics Centre.

Tom Daley posted a picture on Instagram that was taken by his husband Dustin Lance Black. The photo showed Tom working on a knitting project while sitting on a couch with their son Robbie.

Olympic gold medalist Tom Daley was spotted knitting by the pool once more while watching the men's 3m springboard diving final at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.

Tom was completely absorbed as he perched in the stands wearing his Team GB uniform, observing his colleague Jack Laugher achieve a bronze medal.

After winning a gold medal at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, Daley met up with his husband Dustin Lance Black in Canada to resume their shared hobby of knitting.

A cute picture captured him hard at work on his newest project, comfortably seated on a couch alongside their son Robbie.

Tom, dressed in jeans and a gray tank top, wrote under the lovely photo: '@dlanceblack catching our evening watching movies.'

Daley has talked before about how knitting helps him relax and focus during competitions. He even created an Instagram page to share his knitting projects, which he called Made With Love By Tom Daley.

He explained that during the test event in Japan, he brought his knitting with him and worked on it during his breaks between dives. This helped him relax and stay focused during the competition. He admitted that he is really into knitting.

The man who is a father to one child has also playfully mentioned that his biggest concern about the Olympics is that he might run out of yarn during his stay there.

He said: "I'm considering starting a small project while I'm there. I want to make a sweater with an Olympic theme so that in 20 years, I can look back and say 'I created this at the Olympics.' Isn't that cool?"

Daley competed in the Olympics for the first time when he was only 14 years old in Beijing. He was able to win the bronze medal at the London 2012 and Rio Olympic Games.

During the Tokyo 2020 competition, he and Lee surprised everyone by not only staying in the top two positions but also scoring 471.81 points. Despite China being the favorites to win, they managed to perform an outstanding forward four-and-a-half somersaults pike during the final round, when the pressure was at its peak.

The athlete from Britain cried tears of joy as he and his diving teammate, Matty Lee, won first place in the 10m synchronized platform event at the 2021 Games.

The celebrity displayed his high level of skill as he worked on the cream outfit featuring the Team GB emblem and vibrant Olympic rings.

The versatile celebrity unveiled one of his newest designs in 2021 - a cardigan for Team GB.

China's subpar fourth dive allowed the Team GB duo to take the lead and maintain it for the rest of the competition. The ROC ended up claiming the bronze medal.

'It's hard to believe. I have been dreaming about this moment for 20 years, ever since I started diving,' Daley said, just like Matty.

I was sure I would come out on top and win a gold medal at the Olympics in Rio, but things went completely the other way.

My spouse told me that my journey was far from over and that our son, Robbie, had to be present to witness me achieve my dream of winning an Olympic gold medal.

My son had the chance to witness me winning an Olympic gold medal, even though he had to watch it on TV because he couldn't be there in person. It's a truly amazing and heartwarming experience.

Lee said: "It was a surreal experience. I relocated from Leeds to London in October 2018, leaving behind my family and friends. I had no connections in London at all. Our goal was to achieve an Olympic medal."

Putting the gold medal on his neck was a truly special moment for me and I am incredibly proud of him. Becoming an Olympic gold medalist is something I have always dreamed of, so winning it alongside him was truly amazing.

Daley's partner Dustin Lance Black was awarded the Best Original Screenplay Oscar for Milk in 2008. However, Daley is unsure if their Olympic medal or the Oscar will be the main display in their home.

He explained that his husband decided to display his Oscar in the downstairs bathroom. Many guests mistakenly thought it was a toilet brush. They eventually had to purchase a separate Oscar toilet brush so that people wouldn't confuse the real Oscar with a household cleaning tool.

I'm not sure why he behaves like that. He claims he doesn't want to dwell on it and is simply moving forward.
