Speaking of colors, his participation was tinged with a thousand shades, when he decided, previously, to wave a rainbow towelmaking himself proud symbol, once again, of the struggle for the rights of the LGBTQI+ community.

In the stands, special eyes watched in admiration at her sporting (and human) feat: those of her husband Dustin Lance Black and her two sons Robert Ray and Phoenix Rose (who wore iconic t-shirts with the words “that’s my papa!” on the back and “Team Daley” on the front).

Tom Daley emotionally admitted: “It’s very special to be here diving in front of my son who asked me to come back. (Robert) is six now, I think he might remember some of it. My family made me feel really supported. My husband has been by my side all year and has taken the reins with the kids. This time I participated for a bigger purpose: I wanted my kids to see me working hard for a dream.”

And you will say… what can be more adorable and incredible than a champion, supported by his family and who, in turn, supports noble causes?! That same champion who also shows off not a bad talent for crochet! In fact, he was caught several times struggling with the irons in the stands, between training and competition.
