Im speechless and struggling to find the words. Tom Dean is the most talented swimmer I have EVER seen. I always knew he would win Olympic Gold one day but after getting COVID twice this year, I thought it would be 2024. He is INCREDIBLE. So proud DEANO- OLYMPIC CHAMP 🏅#TeamGB pic.twitter.com/95HtetBPTh

Amazing race @katieledecky! A class act all the way. I’ve been saying it for 9 years now but, when I grow up I want to be like Katie Ledecky. #TokyoOlympics #TeamUSA
