Is there anything cuter than this????
Tom Daley isn’t only winning at diving. It turns out the Olympics champion is also into crafts.
The 27-year-old athlete went viral after he was spotted knitting at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics during the women’s 3m springboard diving final on Sunday. The diver was masked up and wearing Great Britain gear while knitting a pink-and-blue garment. He simultaneously showed his support for fellow competitors while also remaining focused on his favorite activity for relaxation.

Daley recently took to social media to discuss his love for knitting by showing off another creation he made. Tom made an accessory for the new gold medal he won on Monday, July 26 for the men’s synchronized 10m.

Daley took up knitting and crocheting at the beginning of lockdown and said he became “obsessed ever since,” even starting an Instagram account solely dedicated to his creations in September 2020 called “Made With Love By Tom Daley.”
