Although the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio are officially over, there were moments from the games that will last a lifetime. For the Japanese Women’s Wrestling Team, it was undoubtedly how they celebrated their amazing victories with their 56-year-old coach, Kazuhito Sakae.

The women’s team from Japan took home a remarkable 4 gold medals and 1 silver medal. The unforgettable celebrations first began when Sara Dosho won gold over Russia’s Natalia Vorobeva in the 69 kg final. She hoisted (hands-free no less!) Sakae on her shoulders as he proudly waved Japan’s flag. Risako Kawai followed suit after her win in the 63 kg final, also hoisting her coach but not before delivering two perfect body slams!

Below you can see Tosaka and Kawai celebrating their gold medal wins with their coach 🙂 Congrats to the Japanese Women’s Wrestling Team for an outstanding Olympics!

Jason Secoda (Airheads Entertainment) is an artist and entertainer that uses balloons as his medium. Based in Philadelphia, the artist has been making balloon art for over 15 years. On his Facebook page, he describes his philosophy:

“My philosophy on balloon art tries to shatter the ideas that balloon art is cheesy and that it’s only for kids. I’m very detail-oriented, and as a result, my work is layered and complex. During events, I often find just as many adults enthralled with my work as children are. In short, I make quality, upscale work for all types, and all ages of clientele.”

Below is a small collection of Jason’s fantastic work. To see more be sure to check out his Facebook page.
