This Is How You Celebrate Winning a Gold Medal

Aug 19 2016 - 2:10pm

When Risako Kawai won gold in the women's 63kg wrestling weight class, she won the fourth gold for Japan's wrestling team in Rio. Kawai also won our hearts with her victory celebration: after the win, she faked giving a hug to her coach and after the psych-out, she flipped him! But that wasn't even her most impressive stunt. Kawai also put her coach on her shoulders demonstrating just how strong she really is. We're pretty sure who would win in a matchup between the two . . .

When you've just won an Olympjc gold in wrestling, this is how to thank your coach. pic.twitter.com/Y5QIuwOWrH [1]
