Long-sought gold medal... with a funny comment

Japan got the LONG-SOUGHT gold medal at the gymnastics Men's Team.

At the gymnastics Men's Team, although they got;

2005 Athens : GOLD
but
2008 Beijing :SILVER
2012 London : SILVER

So they have been saying the same sentence repeatedly, "getting the Gold medal at the Team was our most important goal."

The thrilled Japanese gymnasts and coaches

surrounded by the media

at the moment of clinching the victory

The comment by the youngest gymnast in the team, 19-year-old Kenzo Shirai at the podium is a bit of hot topic among Japanese.

Usually, medals and victory bouquets were given to athletes in Olympics games, but in the Rio Olympics, wooden sculptures of the Rio 2016 logo are given instead of victory bouquets.

"What is this?"

he goes on to say,
"I wonder if it's a toothbrush holder?"

What?!

He said pretty seriously, but.... funny for us!
