- Australian swimmer Ariarne Titmus beat
Katie Ledecky in the 400-meter freestyle at the Olympics. - Australian coach Dean Boxall went wild in the stands, celebrating.
- Boxall won coach of the year in Australia in 2019.
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.
While Titmus' celebration in the pool was reserved, the same can't be said for Boxall, who went wild in the stands.
What began as fairly typical cheering in the final sprint...
... soon grew more intense, as a stander-by tried to take cover.
Boxall's celebration then became - well, something else entirely.
NBC analyst Rowdy Gaines said Boxall looked like Doc Brown from "Back to the Future."
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.
