Perhaps no one was happier about Ariarne Titmus' gold medal in the 400-meter freestyle than her coach, Dean Boxall.

Titmus took gold in the 400-meter freestyle, beating Katie Ledecky in one of the most anticipated races of the Tokyo Olympics.

Boxall is known as an intense coach, though one who can get the best out of his swimmers. He was named Australia's coach of the year in 2019.
