In the incredibly wholesome video, Daley explained, “I’ve got Union Jack on one side and the Japanese flag on the other and it all tucks in nicely to have a little pouch for me to carry around my medal without it getting scratched. How about that?”
We don’t personally have a gold medal, but we want one of these cozies.
But, much like when it came to his determination to get a gold medal, Daley didn’t stop there.
