A coach experiences hardship more than his athletes.
The proof in pictures with Dean Boxall, coach of Ariarne Titmus.
While his protégé won the Olympic title in the 400m freestyle ahead of superstar Katie Ledecky, the Australian coach jumped for joy in the stands.
A mind-blowing video as Boxall seems completely out of control, as a Japanese official barely tries to get him to put his mask back on.
A crazy emotion that would almost make you forget the performance of its swimmer.
No one on the planet is more fired up than Titmus' swimming coach

Arms raised, a frantic race, a dance against the barrier… Everything goes.
The member of the organization even seems to be frightened by the happy fury of Dean Boxall.
The mask of the Australian coach has, moreover, almost left in the public.
Titmus dethroned Ledecky
If the coach exults in this way, it is thanks to the historic performance of Ariarne Titmus.
The Australian swimmer dominated in the final the huge star of the discipline and five-time Olympic champion Katie Ledecky.
Leading in the 300m, the American saw the Australian come back on her before hitting the wall in 3′56′'69 in front of Ledecky (3′57′'36).
Already world champion in 2019, Titmus offers her country her first Olympic title in the discipline since 1972. “This is probably the most important thing you can achieve in your sporting career. I'm on the moon, ”reacted, stunned, the new gold medalist. An emotion visibly shared 400% with his coach.
