UK Olympics gold-medallist Tom Daley, who stole hearts and headlines knitting in the stands at the Tokyo Games, was at it again in Paris on Saturday. The diver, the flag-bearer for Great Britain, began crafting his latest masterpiece while cheering on his teammates at the women’s diving event in the Aquatics Centre. He also gave a behind-the-scenes look at the project on his Instagram page, @madewithlovebytomdaley.
The official Instagram handle of the Olympics shared the photo with the caption, “Knit happens 🧶It wouldn’t be an #Olympics without @tomdaley knitting-in-the-crowd cameo!”
Daley, reshared the post with the cheeky caption, “Comment section is wild, but I be knitting.” He also shared a series of snaps showing him meticulously crafting a sweater with ‘Paris’ across the front.
Reacting to the post, one user wrote, “Wouldn’t be the Olympics if Tom wasn’t there knitting!!” Another user commented, “Tom always being iconic.” A third user wrote, “Absolutely love Tom Daley, so chilled.”
Daley first gained attention for knitting at the Tokyo Olympics, with videos of him knitting going viral. He won a gold medal in the men’s 10-meter synchronised platform diving with Matty Lee. He crafted a little pouch for his gold medal too.
Reacting to this video, one user said, “I love when men have hobbies like this and other men are like ‘that’s so gay’ and women are like ‘I would date him so hard’.” Another user commented, “well he’s the cutest thing ever.” And a third user wrote, “I now want an olympic medal just to get the pouch.”
