Photos: See How A Chinese Athlete Celebrated After Winning His First Gold Medal

Chinese badminton player Chen Long won gold in the men's singles. After winning the match he dropped to the ground and cried tears of joy.
Long then threw his shirt into the crowd before claiming his gold medal....Chong Wei, from Malaysia, has lost the last three Olympic finals
The 27-year-old's priceless reaction came after Long defeated Malaysia's Lee Chong Wei to win his first ever gold medal.

Despite comfortably accounting for his opponent in straight sets 21-18, 21-18, you could have been mistaken for thinking he had lost following the match.

The new Olympic champion fell to his knees and lifted up his shirt after securing victory.
