Tom Daley showed off his impressive knitting skills at the Olympics once again.
After taking home the silver — his fifth straight medal in five Games — in the men’s synchronized 10-meter platform diving event, Daly finally revealed to fans what he had been working on in his downtime.
On the first day of the Paris Olympics, the 30-year-old professional diver was seen knitting in the stands as he watched the women’s synchronized 3-meter springboard final July 27.
The NBC Olympics TikTok account shared footage of the moment. In the clip, Daley, who holds four Olympic medals, shouts after a diving duo's performance, as he seemingly knits part of a Union Jack.
"TOM AND HIS KNITTING IS SO WHOLESOME," one person commented on the video.
"Omg I'm so excited to see what he makes this year," another fan wrote.
"I wonder if he's making a Paris cardigan...!?!?!" a third said.
On July 31, Daley finally shared the finished product with fans.
In a video shared to Instagram, Daley held up a navy sweater with red detail around the neck and wrists. At the bottom was a series of British flags. (Fitting, as Daley served as Team Great Britain's flag-bearer for the opening ceremony.)
On the front, Daley stitched Paris 24, with the "a" forming the shape of the Eiffel Tower. Then on the back, he added his last name.
Daley first went viral for his knitting hobby at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021. The diver was spotting stitching in the stands and cheering on his teammates at the same time.
Why is Tom Daley knitting?
In a 2022 interview with TODAY, Daley explained his fascination with knitting and said he likes to do it as a way to relieve stress.
After training for five years for the Tokyo Olympics, he said his newfound hobby helped “save” him from overthinking.
“When you train for four years — in this case it was five because of the pandemic — you get one chance, six dives,” he said.
However, knitting was the "superpower" he needed to help bring home the gold.
“We weren’t allowed to go out, we weren’t allowed to do anything, to socialize, and there was so much time to overthink about things,” he said. “So, I ended up doing that all the time to get out of my own head. It was my meditation, it’s my calm.”
In 2022, Daley released a knitting and crochet guide book titled "Made with Love," featuring 30 patterns.
