Ariarne Titmus was unaware of her coach’s internet stardom following her gold, but she was unsurprised, saying, ‘that’s just the way Dean is’
Ariarne Titmus uninstalled her social media apps before arriving at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. So when the Australian swimmer arrived for the press conference after winning the women’s 400m freestyle on Monday, she had not seen the entirety of her coach Dean Boxall’s wild celebration. But Titmus was unsurprised that Boxall was fast becoming an internet sensation.
“That’s just the way Dean is,” she explained. “He’s very passionate about what he does – he really becomes quite animated.”
