He is known for stealing the Olympic flag following his diving competition, for which he won a bronze medal. The flag he stole is reported to be the first to display the now-famous five interlocking rings. At the age of 103, he returned the flag in a ceremony at the 2000 Sydney Games. He died in 2001 at the age of 104.
