Who is Dean Boxall, the coach of Ariarne Titmus who gyrated to fame at the Tokyo Olympics?
Ariarne Titmus s coach Dean Boxall has risen to internet stardom after his wild celebration went viral on Monday. A peak into his backstory reveals his spirited antics aren t at all out of character. 27 July 2021
Dean Boxall, Ariarne Titmus s coach and the man who set a new benchmark for bonkers celebrations at the Olympics, is trending.
In case you missed it, Boxall s now-famous out-of-body experience came when Titmus hit the wall 0.67 of a second in front of arguably the greatest female swimmer of all time, the USA s Katie Ledecky, to win gold.
The comparisons to an icon of the Australian coach scene, Laurie Lawrence, are inevitable and even more so after Monday, when he reacted to the nailbiting win by throwing his face mask, pumping his fists and thrusting his hips in front of a bemused Japanese pool official. He later apologised, saying he felt genuinely sorry for breaking Covid-19 protocols in the heat of the moment. But he has never apologised for his exuberance and it is a part of his DNA that has seen him forge such close bonds with his athletes. “I lost it. I think I went outside my body. I just lost it. That’s a moment of being with this girl for five years and having a dream together,” Boxall said. “The Americans might not like it, I don’t know. But I bleed with my athletes.
