Diving star Tom Daley gets his KNITTING out at the Olympics while ...

Tom Daley has been spotted with his knitting equipment at the Olympics while watching the women's diving event. 

The Team GB diver regularly knitted while poolside at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, as he watched his teammate Jack Laugher secure a bronze medal.

This time around in Paris, he is back to knitting cardigans as he gave his support to Yasmin Harper and Scarlett Mew.

The two competitors won Bronze in the Women's Synchronized 3m Springboard this morning after a last-minute collapse from Australia.

Daley has showcased his knitting skills regularly, showing off several pieces such as a cream garment, adorned with the Team GB logo in 2021.

Fresh off of his Tokyo 2020 Olympic gold, Daley reuinted with his husband Dustin Lance Black in Canada to knit again.

An adorable image showed him working on his latest project while sitting on a sofa with their son Robbie. 

Tom - who wore jeans and a grey tank top - captioned the sweet picture: '@dlanceblack capturing our movie night.' 

Daley has previously spoken about the cathartic effect knitting has on his mindset during competitions, after setting up an Instagram page showing his fits called Made With Love By Tom Daley.

He said: 'When we went to Japan for the test event I actually took my knitting with me and was doing it during my competition because sometimes there's 45 minutes in between each dive so I'd sit there and knit and just take my mind off the competition completely. I'm obsessed!'

The father-of-one one has also joked that his one worry going into the Olympics is he will run out of yarn while he is there.

He added: 'I'm thinking of taking a little project out there where I'm going to try and create some kind of Olympic themed jumper so I can look back in 20 years and be like 'I made that at the Olympics' how cool is that?'

Daley made his Olympic debut as a 14-year-old in Beijing and won bronze at London 2012 and Rio.

At Tokyo 2020, he and Lee were not expected to win, with China the favourites, but they never dropped out of the top two and finished with a score of 471.81 following an exceptional forward four-and-a-half somersaults pike when the pressure was on in the final round.

China's poor fourth-round dive let the Team GB pair take the lead and they never looked back, with the ROC claiming bronze.

'It's kind of unbelievable. I dreamt, as has Matty, since I started diving 20 years ago for this moment,' said Daley.

'I thought I was going to win an Olympic gold in Rio and that turned out the complete opposite by a long shot.

'My husband said to me my story wasn't finished and my son (Robbie) needed to be there to watch me win an Olympic gold medal.

'I can say my son watched me become an Olympic champion, albeit on TV as they couldn't be here. It's such a great feeling.'

Lee added: 'It felt crazy, obviously. In October 2018 I moved my whole life to London from Leeds. I was away from my family and friends, everyone. I had nothing in London. Our aim was to win an Olympic medal.

'To be able to put the well-deserved gold medal around his neck was really special to me and I'm very very proud of him. Obviously it's my dream to be a gold medallist, an Olympic gold medallist, and it's great to be able to have won that with him.' 

Daley's husband Dustin Lance Black won the Best Original Screenplay Oscar for Milk in 2008 but Daley admits he does not know whether his medal or the Oscar will take pride of place at home.

He said: 'My husband's Oscar goes in the downstairs loo. People often mistake it for a loobrush. We had to get an Oscar loobrush because people were picking it up and realising it was an actual Oscar, not just a toy.

'I don't know why he does that, he says he doesn't want to give it any more power than it needs. He's done it and moving on to the next thing.'

Tom will be performing in the Men's Synchronized 10m platform final on Monday as he looks to add to his medal tally.
