As a long-time "out" diver, Thomas Daly is an idol who has given many people the courage to face themselves. Within the scope of athletes, he is even more regarded as an example. The picture of him knitting sweaters in the stands at the Tokyo Olympics even overshadowed the competition. Recently, he mentioned his story with "beating sweaters" in an interview with foreign media.
Thomas Robert Daley/Tom Daley, born in 1994, was dubbed a "diving prodigy" as soon as he debuted.
He began practicing diving at the age of 7 and was granted a special license to compete internationally in 2007. Daly, who was less than 13 years old at the time, won a silver medal in the double 10-meter jump for his first competition.
Daly, who has been fighting for many years, won the bronze medal twice in London and Rio, and at last year's Tokyo Olympics, he finally fulfilled his Olympic dream of winning the Olympics. In addition to working with his teammates to win the gold medal in the double 10-meter platform, he himself also won the third place in the single 10-meter platform.

However, none of this is a picture of him "playing sweaters" in the stands. Daley's photo of "playing with sweaters" spread even more viral online than his performance in the game.
Focused look, clear lines of muscles, but also "sweater". Only then do I understand what is called a "virtuous" husband of someone else's family.
In addition to the process of knitting sweaters, from the photos, the final product is quite good in terms of creativity and quality.
Recently, Daley was interviewed by a foreign magazine and told everyone that his sweater brand was named "Made With Love". Interested friends who buy a sweater will also get an instruction manual on how to knit a sweater.
Due to some recent international disputes, Daley felt that now was not the right time to promote his brand. He himself is open to disputes, but Daly has been calling on his friends and family to donate money to people who have been hurt by the war. The name "Made With Love" is also very warm to look at now.
"Made With Love" started out as the name of a social account that dai used to display his "knitwear." Worried that some fans might not like knitting, in order not to affect them, Daly opened a separate account and named it "Made With Love". At first, this account was dedicated to sharing his knitting work, and later named the brand "Made With Love".
Daly said that what he wants to express is that he hopes that all people can dress differently, especially in their own homemade clothes, and should be proud.
"Made with Love" and be proud to have done it yourself
Referring to his reasons for knitting sweaters, Daly mentioned that he was constantly running for training and competition every day, and for a while he felt the need to calm himself down. His coach also suggested that he find something to do when he was resting that would allow him to calm down and relax.
So Daly's husband suggested that he try knitting sweaters. Because many people in the film and television circle also use knitting sweaters to relax their bodies and minds in their spare time. Daly fell in love with the video after trying it out once.
Some people may think that knitting sweaters is not something that men do. But what is the gender of this labor and creative activity of knitting, and what should or should not be done?
Some people may think that men knitting sweaters are not manly enough, but I think the picture of Daley knitting sweaters with his chest muscles is not only not feminine, but also very loving.
Masculine or not, in the past, often from the appearance of the point of view. A person who does not "grease and powder", does not "show flowers and branches", is simple and clean, and has a manly personality called masculinity. But now, masculinity is more important than the arrogance that a person shows in the face of life's setbacks, failures, and dangers and difficulties of those around him.
Faced with the same problem, Daly feels that men's "masculinity" has always been an inherent concept, but it is gradually changing.
People are now more free than ever to talk about who we are, about our appearances, and about subtle issues like mental health or privacy that were rarely mentioned before.
The human mind changes with the development of society, and there is much more that we can accept today than in the past. It can also be seen from the changes in our entertainment industry in the past decade, and many viewers have also made great changes in their aesthetic bias towards men.
Although "Little Fresh Meat" and "Beautiful Teenager" are not my dishes, everyone has their own aesthetic biases and can take different paths. As long as people are responsible for their own lives, they do not have to worry about other people's ideas without affecting others. It's like zongzi and tofu brain are sweet or salty, but the taste is different, there is no right or wrong.
In a society where everything is about speed, it is actually difficult to get people to calm down and do something.
We always spend day after day in constant anxiety. Even on days off, most people's nerves can't be completely relaxed. Shorter and shorter videos, more and more fragmented reading, "X minutes to see a movie", are all products of a fast-paced life.
Now some nostalgic for the days when they waited for the TV station to broadcast the program, and when they were bored, they only read books for recreation.
In fact, now we need to take the initiative to find something to slow down the pace of life, with a relatively long period of time to do one thing slowly, but many people lack the patience to complete this thing.
