British diving star Tom Daley has again been spotted knitting in the stands as he watched his team-mates compete at the Paris Olympics.
Daley, who won silver in the men's synchronised 10m platform with partner Noah Williams on Monday, was seen supporting Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix and Lois Toulson as they took bronze in the women's event.
The 30-year-old carried on his tradition of knitting while poolside as the cameras captured him with his equipment as he sat alongside some of his fellow divers.
Daley, a five-time OIympic medallist, appeared to be crocheting a cupholder as the footage panned to him in the stands.
On Saturday he was seen knitting cardigans as he gave his support to Yasmin Harper and Scarlett Mew as they secured a bronze in the women's synchronized 3m springboard.

The Team GB diver regularly knitted while poolside at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics as he watched his teammate Jack Laugher secure a bronze medal.
Daley has showcased his knitting skills regularly, showing off several pieces such as a cream garment, adorned with the Team GB logo in 2021.
Tokyo 2020 Olympic gold medallist Daley reunited with his husband Dustin Lance Black in Canada to knit again.
An adorable image showed him working on his latest project while sitting on a sofa with their son Robbie.
Tom - who wore jeans and a grey tank top - captioned the sweet picture: '@dlanceblack capturing our movie night.'
Daley has previously spoken about the cathartic effect knitting has on his mindset during competitions, after setting up an Instagram page showing his fits called Made With Love By Tom Daley.
He said: 'When we went to Japan for the test event I actually took my knitting with me and was doing it during my competition because sometimes there's 45 minutes in between each dive so I'd sit there and knit and just take my mind off the competition completely. I'm obsessed!'
Speaking after Daley and Williams earned a superb silver in the men's 10m event on Monday, the British star said: 'This year has felt like a bonus really. 19 months ago, I was sitting on my sofa doing nothing, and deciding to come back because my son – he wanted to see me at the Olympics.
'And now to be here with a silver medal, to be diving with Noah and, you know, to be diving in front of my family, it was really special.'
His husband Dustin Lance Black took to Instagram with a slew of sweet family snaps to celebrate the result.
