Olympics: The Australian Olympic team have arrived home to a heroes welcome, with several Gold Medallists catching up with Fox Sports news.
Record breaking Olympic team arrive home | 09:15While the majority of Australia’s Olympians made their triumphant return home on Wednesday morning, Rachael “Raygun” Gunn was a noticeable absentee, with several high-profile athletes hitting out at her critics and praising her for living out the “Australian spirit” on the biggest stage.
“She came in for the closing ceremony, and the whole team got around her,” gold medal swimmer Cam McEvoy said. “To see the toll ... she is human and it is massive what she has been through over the last week,” Fox said. Garside is happy to be back home after his shock early exit in Paris having ended Australia’s boxing drought in Tokyo when he won bronze.He’s unsure what his plans are going forward, with Garside hoping to come back to reality after an emotional fortnight abroad where he apologised to Australians after his fight and said “I feel like a failure” in a raw interview after the bout.
Among the swathe of emotional arrivals at Sydney airport on Wednesday morning, few could compare to the shock Titmus got when a lifelong friend she hadn’t seen for two years surprised her on stage to amplify the overwhelming feeling of this successful Olympic journey being over. “We raced against each other in our primary school days, and I did beat ‘Arnie’ back in grade 5. I can’t remember what race it was, but I’ll claim it,” she said.
Titmus dethroned the American in the 400m freestyle in Tokyo and repeated the dose in Paris, with her great rival claiming bronze.
