You don’t need to be a fan of sports or to be following the ongoing Tokyo Olympics 2020 to know about this man we’re going to be speaking about. It’s Dean Boxall who got super famous all across the internet because of a minute’s frenzy at the Olympic Games. His swimmer won a gold medal in one of the Olympic events earlier today, and his happiness couldn’t be controlled within.
The swimmer was Australia’s Ariarne Titmus and the event was Women’s 400m freestyle. When she was announced winner and that she’ll be getting a piece of gold to take back home, Boxall went crazy on the balcony where he was seated and was watching the race. He ran up and down, tore of his mask, held the railing and went berserk in celebration. The internet was won over with the videos that surfaced online!
