Dazzling athlete
Thomas Daley: He came, knitted and won silver
Thomas Daley won his first medal at the Olympic Games in Paris - the British water diver is also attracting attention away from the pool.
Daley, who won silver in the tower synchronized diving with partner Noah Williams on Monday, was seen knitting a sweater with the British national colors and his name on it in the stands during the women's synchronized final of the three-metre board on Saturday.
Daley started knitting during the coronavirus pandemic and sees it as a way to relax. However, it is now more than just a hobby for the Tokyo Olympic champion: Daley presents his work on his own Instagram account with 1.2 million followers. He has also asked his many fans there which piece he should knit for the Summer Games in Paris.
Was a British flag bearer
This is Daley's fifth Olympic Games and he carried the British flag at the opening ceremony together with rower Helen Glover. The four-time world champion is the most dazzling personality in water diving.
In December 2013, he publicly announced that he was in a romantic relationship with a man. In 2017, he married the American filmmaker Dustin Lance Black. They now have two children. "My greatest achievement is jumping in front of my husband and two young children," said Daley.
