Tokyo 2020 Olympics - Tom Dean WINS gold for Team GB in men’s 200m freestyle.

TOM DEAN sent his friends and family in Maidenhead back home into party mode at 3am after his historic Olympic gold medal triumph.

The 21-year-old led a Team GB one-two to win a brilliant 200m men's freestyle at the Tokyo Aquatics Centre.

He and Scotland's Duncan Scott pulled off Britain's first gold and silver haul in a swimming event in 113 years.

Afterwards, Dean said: “Thanks so much to everyone back home, my mum, my family, my girlfriend, all the boys back in Maidenhead, thank you for staying up."

A video has now emerged on social media of the star’s nearest and dearest gathered together to cheer him on during the race at 3am this morning.

A large number were together under the night sky in his mum's back garden to watch Dean and his victory was met with screams and cries of joy with hugs aplenty.
