Ariarne Titmus's stunning swim in the 400 metre freestyle has had Australians cheering — none more so than coach Dean Boxall, whose intense 'Ultimate Warrior' celebration has gone viral.

Boxall admitted his inspiration for the celebration came from the Ultimate Warrior, a professional wrestler from the late 80s to the mid 90s."He is my favourite. I used to wrestle with my brother … I loved the Ultimate Warrior," he said.

"I need to apologise because I actually took my mask off by mistake and it ripped and I just lost it in the moment." His reaction captured the imagination of the world, with Channel 7 telling Boxall that the New York Times asked in its piece: "Can I have what Dean Boxall is on?""That's just the way Dean is," Titmus said."[It's] for him as much as it is for me. He puts 100 per cent into being a swimming coach."

Love it . We are so proud…..

Titmus needs to be applauded and recognized for his dedication and efforts with the Athletes. At the end of the day it is the Athlete .

The swim was brilliant - now overshadowed by the coach. It was funny, but pales into insignificance to the performance in the pool.

Yep, so happy he wants to bonk the balcony - a bit primal.

The Ultimate Warrior? Well yeah. Maybe. Defiantly cause for excitement though.Titmus won that easy. A well premeditated race plan. Congratulations Ariarne. 👏

It’s his gold medal as well.

Qldaah Not clicking on the article - Ariane is the story not her coach.

Please don’t make this huge achievement by Ariarne Titmus about her coach.

Good on him 🤣🤣🤣

Titmus is only there because she denied a person in 1a group a vaccination.... I cannot celebrate.

Because he wanted to hype his own profile and get a pay rise

Where is the picture of Titmus

To be fair, that's the opposite of what a lot of swimming coaches say.
