Watch Weightlifter Celebrate Olympic Bronze With An Epic Backflip

How would Aurimas Didzbalis have reacted if he’d won Olympic gold?!?

The Lithuanian weightlifter pulled off a stunning backflip after scooping up a bronze medal in the men’s 94kg competition at Rio 2016 .

Video shows him somersaulting backwards into the air, before landing perfectly on his feet and tensing his biceps in absolute delight.

”I only do them when I win a medal ,” he said of the backflip during a press conference afterward. “If I had finished fourth, you wouldn’t have seen it.”

The 25-year-old, who missed the London 2012 Olympics because he was serving a two-year ban for doping, lifted 392 kg (around 864 pounds) to take third place.

Iran’s Sohrab Moradi won gold , Belarus’ Vadzim Straitsou took silver, and Team USA’s Kendrick Farris finished 11th.
