We *think* Dieudonne Wilfried Seyi Ntsengue is happy in this pic... Although he might not look it! The boxer from Cameroon is celebrating a win in his first round of the 75kg category. We wouldn't like to get in the ring with him. Imagine what he'd look like if he lost!

Another weightlifter with his own quirky celebration! This time it's Muhammad Azroy Hazalwafie Izhar Ahmad from Malaysia. He took gold in the 56kg final. He looks like one cool guy... Or at least he looks like he's having a think about it!

Normally winners hold up a flag, trophy or medal to celebrate, but this New Zealand athlete chose something a bit different! It's fitting though because Sam Webster's a cyclist and had just bagged gold in the Men's Sprint Final!
