Mattek-Sands returns to Arizona, seeks Phelps celebration

The Rio mixed doubles champion is taking her victory laps.

Published Aug 18, 2016

Bethanie Mattek-Sands is ready to celebrate. The gold medalist has returned home to Arizona, and couldn't help noticing that a fellow Olympic champion had also recently touched down.

Mattek-Sands won gold in mixed doubles with Jack Sock, and she's making her victory laps. After appearing on the Today Show with Sock, the 31-year-old threw out the first pitch for the Arizona Diamonds with her medal hanging around her neck.

Mattek-Sands is a multiple Grand Slam title winner (two doubles and two mixed doubles), but she's really loving gold right now, and who can blame her?

She was ready to celebrate even before touching down.

Phelps could always take her up on the offer. Stay tuned.
