Last Updated: 11/08/16 9:55am
Kazakhstan's Nijat Rahimov showed he has got the moves as well as the power after breaking the world record to a weightlifting gold.
The 22-year-old Rahimov smashed the clean and jerk world record in the men's 77kg category by hoisting 214kg above his head, 4kg more than the existing record.
But it was the Kazakh's activities after securing his gold medal that caught the eye. Ditching the bravado of his macho sport, Rahimov showed his lighter side with an amusing jig to celebrate the achievement.
What went through his mind? You decide, by checking the video at the top of this page...
In slightly more serious Olympics news, Great Britain's Jack Laugher and Chris Mears won a diving gold followed by Joe Clarke who scooped the top prize in canoeing.
