After a stunning performance with synchronized diving partner Matty Lee, Great Britain’s Tom Daley became an Olympic champion for the first time while competing in his fourth Olympics.
But Daley is also a knitting and crocheting machine and has been spotted stitching while poolside — including while competing still — at the Tokyo Games. He even made a lovely holder for his gold medal with the British flag on one side and the Japanese flag on the other.
However, Daley’s true masterpiece is the Olympic-themed cardigan he made while at the Games.
“When I got to Tokyo, I wanted to make something that would remind me of these games. Something that I could say I had made in Tokyo, during the Olympics!” Daley wrote in his Instagram caption with the finished product.
And it’s spectacular.
“I did a @teamgb logo on the back, with a flag and GBR on the shoulders and Tokyo embroidered onto the front!” he added.
