Tokyo Olympic gold medallist Zac Stubblety-Cook’s has been awarded an Order of the Medal of Australia.

Since the Games, he said the biggest thing that has changed is heading out into the community and hopefully inspiring some young Australians.

He said it was a very special honour, but he had a hilarious reaction to having OAM added to his name!
