The reaction of Tom Dean's family to his 200m Olympic freestyle gold would have woken up the neighbours back home in Britain - had they not been leaping around the garden already.
Video footage of the pre-dawn scenes in Maidenhead, to the west of London, went viral after the 21-year-old led Britain's first Olympic swimming one-two finish in 113 years.
"Yesterday morning we just decided, because we couldn't be there, how nice would it be for Tom to know that some of his family and his friends were watching him. Dean, one of five siblings in a family of swimmers, was Britain's second gold medallist in the pool after 100m breaststroke champion Adam Peaty."You can see it's so joyous and full of passion, and chaos. Joyous chaos. It's lovely," said his mother of the jubilation back home.With more races to come, the projector and the bunting are staying up - and some of the overnight guests may stick around as well.
