Should knitting be an Olympic sport?
British diver Tom Daley may not be the first man to knit at the Games, but he’s probably the best known.
British diver Tom Daley reached two milestones on Monday. First, he won silver for his 10m synchronised platform dive with teammate Noah Williams. Second, he finished a top he has been knitting on the pool sidelines: a baggy blue jumper with a white Eiffel Tower on the front, union jacks around the hem, and D-A-L-E-Y picked out on the back.
Daley’s #madewithlove Instagram page, where he shared the news of his latest hand-knitted triumph, has 1.3 million followers.
