The most entertaining (and unexpected) gold medal celebration you’ll see

This fabulous moment from last year’s Tokyo Olympics has just gone wildly viral on Reddit because it’s just so good.

It’s the moment Japanese Risako Kawai won gold or – to be strictly accurate – the moment she celebrated her win with her coach.

Apparently it’s not the first time Risako did the bodyslam celebration, which is a bit of a thing among wrestlers by all accounts.

And here are our favourite things people said about it.

“You won, I’m so proud! And I have even more good news; my spinal surgery was a success! The doctor says I just have to be careful with my back for- AAAGGGHHH!”
