British diving sensation Tom Daley has once again been seen knitting in the stands while cheering on his teammates at the Paris Olympics.
After winning silver on Monday in the men’s synchronized 10m platform alongside Noah Williams, Daley was spotted supporting Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix and Lois Toulson as they achieved bronze in the women’s event.
The 30-year-old continued his tradition of knitting poolside, as cameras caught him working with his supplies while sitting near other divers.
In the footage, Daley, a five-time Olympic medallist, appeared to be crocheting a cupholder.
On Saturday, he was also seen knitting cardigans to support Yasmin Harper and Scarlett Mew, who won bronze in the women’s synchronized 3m springboard.

The Team GB diver frequently knitted while poolside during the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, where he cheered for his teammate Jack Laugher, who earned a bronze medal.
Daley has consistently highlighted his knitting talents, showcasing various items, including a cream piece adorned with the Team GB logo in 2021.
Following the Tokyo 2020 Olympic gold medal win, Daley reunited with his husband Dustin Lance Black in Canada for another knitting session.
A charming image depicted him working on a project while sitting on a sofa with their son Robbie.
Dressed in jeans and a grey tank top, Daley shared the heartwarming photo captioned: ‘@dlanceblack capturing our movie night.’
Daley has previously expressed how knitting positively influences his mindset during competitions. He even created an Instagram page to display his creations, titled Made With Love By Tom Daley.
He stated: ‘During our Japan test event, I brought my knitting and worked on it between dives. Sometimes there’s a long interval, so I would knit to divert my focus from the competition. I’m truly passionate about it!’
After securing silver in the men’s 10m event alongside Williams on Monday, Daley shared: ‘This year has been a bonus. Nineteen months ago, I was on my couch doing nothing, and I decided to return because my son wanted to see me at the Olympics.’
‘Now, with a silver medal in hand, diving alongside Noah and performing in front of my family feels incredibly special.’
His husband, Dustin Lance Black, took to Instagram to share a series of sweet family photos in celebration of the achievement.
