Tom Daley had waited a long time to get his hands on an Olympic gold diving medal, having made his debut for Team GB in Beijing in 2008 and coming close at every subsequent Olympics. Daley revealed on his Instagram account madewithlovebytomdaley that overnight in Tokyo he had knitted a little holder for his gold medal to “prevent it getting scratched”. Team GB’s Tom Daley holds up his gold medal and the knitted holder. It all tucks in nicely, to have a little pouch for me to carry around my medal without it getting scratched. How about that?”The madewithlovebytomdaley account boasts nearly 100,000 followers, and has been where Daley has shown off his knitting prowess since September last year.
