Lithuanian weightlifter Aurimas Didžbalis won his first Olympic medal on Saturday and was really happy about it. After he failed to lift 223kg — which equates to 491 pounds — instead of letting out frustration, he celebrated with a backflip.

This man is so ripped out of his mind that after trying three times to lift nearly 500 pounds on top of a handful of other lifts before that, he found the strength to flip his 200-pound self seconds after dropping the weights.
Didžbalis is the perfect example of how Olympians should celebrate after years of grueling training.
I mean he was no Simone Biles or anything, but he did stick that landing too, and who knows, maybe Lithuania will need a gymnast for Tokyo. By the looks of him, I think he’d perform very well on pommel horse and could totally lift himself up on the rings.
