Eight-time Olympic Medal-winning Nathan Adrian, fresh off winning four Olympic medals including two golds in Rio, received a hero’s welcome in his home town of Bremerton, Washington Monday night, reports KING5.
Several hundred people packed the Bremerton High School auditorium where Adrian graduated in 2006.
His parents were also on hand to witness the adulation received from the attentive crowd.
“It’s fun to be here to look at kids,” Adrian said. “(To) look them in the eye and say, ‘Hey, I was there.’”
Adrian told two young girls his best moment as a Bremerton Knight was being up on stage and being knighted.
