SINGAPORE — After his historic gold medal win at the Olympics over the weekend, would you expect any smaller welcome for Joseph Schooling when he touched home soil?

Over 400 people were waiting to greet the 21-year-old champ at the airport early on Monday morning. When his plane touched down at 5:30 a.m., Changi Airport performed a water gun salute, and he walked out while wearing his gold medal, reports Today.
