Once Ariane's victory was near coach Boxall was seen tearing off his face mask, screaming, and hitting the air in following the win. He was also seen clutching and furiously shaking a barrier in excitement. A nearby Olympics staffer tried to calm Boxall down to no avail.
According to Channel 7, Titmus father could barely speak after watching his daughter won the Olympic medal. The family relocated to Noosa from Tasmania for Titmus? swimming career. He said ?I can?t believe it,? her father said. ?I?ve lost my voice. I cannot believe it. Wow!. Unbelievable. Just quite extraordinary. She?s done it. She?s actually done it. Wow. My God. Can?t believe it. Last hundred was just, she?s just focused. Determined. Gritty. Gutsy. Race, unbelievable.?
While speaking to the same broadcaster Titmus said ?I can?t believe it. I?m trying to contain my emotions - I?ve got the 200 tonight! But oh my gosh I can?t believe it. This past year, I don?t know whether it?s gone fast or slow. More than anything, to get here was a relief, but to come here and do the job - I?m over the moon.?
