A wholesome moment between two Australian legends was caught on camera at the Paris 2024 Summer Paralympic Games.
Thanks to her incredible swimming performances, Alexa Leary has been making waves—literally and figuratively—at the Paris sporting event. The Australian athlete broke the world record 100m freestyle time twice within 24 hours, according to Yahoo Sport Australia.
Seeing as she’s the new world record holder, Leary, of course, picked up a gold medal win for her performance in the pool. The swimmer, a fan of electronic music, was then pulled aside after her victory to receive a congratulatory message from none other than her Australian compatriot, FISHER.
The DJ and house music superstar called Leary an “absolute legend” before telling her that he and his newborn will be watching her perform later in the Summer Paralympic Games. She expressed shock and excitement over the surprise message and said it made her day before expressing interest in joining him onstage at a future event—and maybe even babysitting.
“Come on, bring it home girl!” FISHER said. “We love you, you’re such an inspiration.”
Check out the heartwarming moment between FISHER and Leary below.
