Fresh from another record breaking swim in the 200m Individual Medley earlier (June 10), man-of-the-moment Joseph Schooling nearly got hit by a flying book thrown by over-enthusiastic female fans, who were baying for his autograph.

But of course, he's all obliging, giving and all-round loving because he's the People's Champion.

Heck. He even returned the pens.

We are pretty sure he's more than willing to sign on underwear too. And underwear won't hurt the People's Champion like a book will.

It's little wonder why the girls were going gaga over him. The swimming sensation won a staggering eight medals from as many events and broke six individual Games Records along the way.

In other news, it was another outstanding day for our swimmers with four gold medals.
