Swimmer's brother cheering for her at the Olympics is the kind of support we all need

Winning a medal at the Olympics is a proud moment for any athlete. It is also a big deal for their loved ones who have cheered them on throughout their journey toward winning that coveted medal. An Australian swimmer's brother cheering her on as she won the gold medal beautifully encapsulates that feeling an athlete's family gets as the person makes the country and everyone around them proud. Courier Mail posted a video of Mollie O'Callaghan's brother cheering for her and it has warmed people's hearts on the internet.

As an animated representation of all the participants of the 200m swim race was shown on the screen, O'Callaghan's brother loudly cheered, "Go Mollie go. Come on Mollie you got this!" He screamed at the top of his voice, constantly chanting the same sentence to express his excitement over his sister's race. "Go my girl. Come on," the man went on. The brother kept on cheering for the entire duration of the race and the moment the swimmer reached the finish area he screamed "Yeah, yeah" celebrating her victory. "She did it," the brother pointed out jumping and waving his hands with excitement. "Go Mollie, oh," the man continued as he started to calm down after the intense moment.

"Gee, I am going to have a heart attack now," he said, unable to control his energy. "I better check my pants as well. God, I should have brought a change of pants. Oh gee." The wholesome reaction received over 243k views on Courier Mail's Instagram and people took to the comments section to applaud the brother's reaction to his sister's win. @treeeesa.k wrote, "Might not have the cash to travel from Australia to Paris. He watched it, filmed himself watching it, and cried after to hopefully call her when he could. I think he’s a great brother." @julee75 commented, "Yay MOLLIE… goooo brother boy screaming & tearing up. Best supporter! She has made us all proud. Well done Mollie. Well deserved!"

@frida_starglancer remarked, "How nice the whole shift watched. Well done Bro." @possiblyletty expressed, "Congrats Molly! Also, I love that the Aussie Olympic colors follow the Aussie tradies!" @sammakdog shared, "Swimming is such a family sport. You can't do it without all the sacrifice and support from your family. Mollie's brother typifies that in spades." O'Callaghan won the gold medal after finishing before fellow Australian swimmer Ariarne Titmus in the 200-meter freestyle at the Paris Olympics, per the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.

The swimmer finished the race in one minute, 53.27 seconds at the Paris La Defense Arena while Titmus came in second at one minute 53.81 seconds and won the silver medal. If Titmus had won this race she would have would have become the only swimmer in the Olympics to defend both 400m and 200m titles as per the outlet. "It's such an honor to be with everyone and compete against Arnie. She is an absolute gun. She races like an absolute beast and it's an honor to train alongside her and have such a great team around us," O'Callaghan expressed after the race. O'Callaghan was in third place with 50 meters still to go for the race but managed to get ahead in the last lap.
