We didn’t think it was possible to love Olympic diver Tom Daley more. After sweeping gold in the synchronized diving last week, the British native shared a message of solidarity<\/a>\u00a0for his fellow LGBTIQ athletes.\u00a0\u201cI hope that any young LGBTIQ person out there can see that no matter how alone you think you are, you are not alone. And that you can achieve anything,” he said.<\/p>\n

Then at the weekend, the 27-year-old was spotted knitting a purple dog jumper in the stands as he cheered on the female divers. A day later Daley was seen creating a ‘Team GBR’ jumper. But it turns out that the craft is not just a hobby for the athlete. He has an entire, carefully curated, Instagram page dedicated to his knitting. Amongst the colorful sweaters, children’s clothing and diving briefs (yes, really, feast your eyes here<\/a>), Daley recreated a Gucci crochet dress using “leftover yarn”.<\/p>\n
