Daley won the silver with diving partner Noah Williams on Monday, July 29. It was Daley's fifth Olympic medal and first silver. He had previously won bronze at London, bronze at Rio, and both gold and bronze at Tokyo.
But Daley is known for more than just being a handsome gold-medal winner, husband and father. He's also a prolific knitter.

Daley took up knitting in 2020, when he was resting and taking a break from diving, and his coach told him to find a hobby. Daley's husband, Oscar-winning screenwriter Dustin Lance Black (Milk), suggested knitting and crocheting, and the rest is history!
Daley went viral during the Tokyo Olympics for knitting in between dives, and we've loved this quirk about him ever since!
Now, he's back at it at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Scroll through to see some of our favorite reactions.
