Dylan Alcott proved he’s always a good sportsman when he put on an animated show while unveiling a wax figure of himself at Madame Tussauds, Sydney.
The Olympic star, 31, made his way to Darling Harbor along with his sexologist girlfriend, Chantelle Otten.
The pair looked cheerful as they laughed and joked about the wax figure, which bore an uncanny resemblance to the athlete.

The wax figure showed the tennis champion holding up a racket after an arms outstretched victory at the Australian Open.
Chantelle playfully massaged the wax figure while Dylan looked a little perplexed at how well the wax figure was made of him.
Chantelle at one point shared a playful laugh with Dylan as she looked at him as he had a puzzled look on his face.

The Melbourne sexologist wore an off-the-shoulder white dress to the event. Dylan wore all black to the unveiling.
It comes after Dylan weighed in with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese earlier this month on Australians taking out disability insurance.
The 2022 Australian of the Year launched The Field, a service that matches disabled Australians with employers, at Parliament House.

Mr. Alcott was questioned about fraud discovered in the National Disability Insurance Scheme, which is being investigated by a $126.3 million task force.
“They’re about to fill up,” he said bluntly.
“There are some untrustworthy people doing untrustworthy things, and the government has already appointed the merger fraud task force and it will find that people are doing the wrong thing.
“If you look at this and you do the wrong thing, you are literally depriving a neurodiverse child of care,” he continued.

‘You take someone with a high handicap to shower.
“You don’t take away from us that we have fast cars and things like that. That’s not the point. So remind yourself, if you do, you know what? I’m not going to try that again.’
Mr Alcott said that while there were issues with fraud, the NDIS was a ‘damn great’ scheme that helped nearly 550,000 Australians.
“I’ll start by saying the NDIS is fucking awesome. We commissioned the NDIS report four months ago, the first half is about how good the NDIS is,” he said.

‘We’ve talked about early intervention before. One of the things we found in this report is that children with early intervention on the NDIS before age six have twice as many friends as children without.
‘I had no friends when I was five, it still gives me goosebumps when I say that. I would have loved to have the NDIS, did you know that?
“We’re not talking about the economic growth of being involved in that sort of thing. First and foremost, it’s great, and we need to hear more stories about the good things happening.”
Mr Alcott told reporters at Parliament House alongside Prime Minister and NDIS Minister Bill Shorten that businesses needed help finding disabled staff.
He said that although Australia was in the middle of a labor shortage, there were 500,000 people with disabilities looking for work.
