Olympic diving gold medallist Tom Daley's career in the sport started early, at age 7 – and from there, the rest was history. He qualified for 2024 Paris Games – his fifth – and won silver in the men's synchro competition with Noah Williams. His five Olympic medals are a first for a British athlete in the sport. Following Tokyo, Daley announced a short-lived retirement before setting his sights on Paris 2024. Daley gave hope to the LGBTQ+ community after coming out as gay and championing for same-sex rights across the Commonwealth, turned a viral knitting moment into an opportunity to raise money for cancer charities, completed a gruelling triathlon to put a spotlight on poverty, and most recently shared his struggles with body image and an eating disorder. Tom Daley has inspired millions of people: from advocating for LGBTQ+ rights to knitting for charity as Great Britain's most decorated diver of all time, there is no doubt about the legacy Tom Daley left in the pool. The impact he has had outside of it, however, is no less significant. From LGBTQ+ advocacy to charity fundraisers and opening up about poor body image, Daley proves he is much more than a talented athlete. Do you knit?
