Nobody rocks a Speedo (and a sweater) better than Tom Daley.

With so many gold Olympic medals around his neck, the athlete announced his retirement from diving in August. His impeccable form earned him plenty of accolades through the years, but Daley also broke the internet many times with his videos knitting on sidelines.

As he closes the chapter on diving, Daley is now embracing his love of knitting by hosting a competition show based on the hobby he loves! Game of Wool will feature ten contestants crocheting the most gorgeous outfits and sickening sculptures.

“I could literally spend all hours of the day knitting if I could. Some of my friends came over the other week and we spent literally three hours knitting. It was a really wild Saturday night, but I loved it. It’s my favorite thing. It’s my meditation, so I love it,” Daley tells Out.

Besides his adorable creations, fans of Daley can’t get enough of his photos and clips rocking sexy Speedos. His secret to looking so good? Just loving the skin he’s in.

“When I was younger, I used to see people wearing clothes that I used to really like. I wish I had the confidence to wear that. Just do it! Wear whatever you want and wear it with confidence. Who cares? You only live once,” Daley says.
