Now that the Olympics are over, and we won’t see them in another three years, we must celebrate what happened. But, even though we still have the Paralympic and the Winter Olympics, if we want to watch more sports, they aren’t the same. So, to celebrate with us, the BBC made an incredible montage.

There were so many funny moments thanks to the athletes during this competition. Many of them were so happy about winning that they didn’t control their language. Some others just were themselves and went viral. In case you missed some, we put them here.
Italian and Qatari agreed to share the gold

Tom Daley got famous for something other than his swimming abilities
You might know Tom thanks to his gold medal in the synchronized 10-metre platform. However, the internet also knows him because he went viral after being spotted knitting in the stands of the women’s springboard. He is excellent at this and went viral again after he made a pocket for his medal.

Another athlete that got famous thanks to the internet instead of his abilities was Pita Taufatofua. He oiled himself up and became an internet shirtless sensation by showing a tradition of his country.
