The Japanese Olympics worker who tried to contain the wild celebrations of Australia s swimming coach has vowed to be ready for him next time.
Ariarne Titmus stormed home to win gold in the 400m freestyle over America s greatest ever female swimmer Katie Ledecky on Monday, with her coach Dean Boxall s crazy celebrations being broadcast across the globe.
Boxall ripped his face mask off and started running up and down the stands before screaming and gyrating as a staff member panicked in the background.
The young woman spoke to Channel 7 about the moment, saying she was unaware she s now famous but promised to be ready for Boxall if he tries to break out of his area again.
