Colin Schooling watches Joseph compete in the 100m fly finals

For 50.39 seconds, he kept his gaze fixed on the TV. Hands covering his mouth, there was not a word from him, even as the others around him jumped in excitement. When it was all over, he sank into his seat. His face finally broke into a wide grin, and tears of joy welled up. "Son, I love you. You've done the nation very proud!," said Colin. His son Joseph Schooling has just made history by winning Singapore's first Olympic gold. Read more: str.sg/4qJs

[@victoriapostmus3504]

i think the funny thing about this race was that i remember everyone was anticipating the rivalry between phelps and leclos and people also knew of laszlo cseh being an incredible flyer as well so for schooling to come out of no where and win it all was really sweet because it put the rivalries aside to congratulate this young athlete on an incredible win was just amazing.

[@bballClipss]

So happy to see this. Papa is almost speechless!

[@pinksuperboink]

The day the Jo Schooling stunned the world. Coming into the Rio Games everyone has been talking of Phelps making history. He made Phelps, Le Clos and Cseh runner ups. Colin never celebrated until it was done, he was the first one who knew that his son will win but he stood there in silence watching intently.
