BEIJING, China — Commentators can talk a lot about the "hunt for gold" during the Olympics, but it's also worth remembering - any Olympic medal is an incredible achievement, a dream-fulfilling moment for most athletes.
Winning a medal - gold, silver or bronze - is a great cause for celebration. And one South Korean speed skater made the most of his on Wednesday.
The Korean team finished second in the men's 5,000-meter short track relay - less than a half second behind the gold-winning Canadian team.

That might well be considered a heartbreakingly close finish. But one of South Korea's skaters was not about to indulge in any heartbreak.
Instead, Kwak Yoon-gy celebrated that silver in style:
With flowing pink hair, Kwak stepped to the podium and did a little jig, ending it with a kick.
The dance was evidently an homage to BTS, the global superstar K-Pop band from South Korea. Given the enormous worldwide fanbase BTS enjoy, it's probably likely that Kwak gained himself quite a few new fans on Wednesday with his nod on the Olympic podium.
The medal was almost certainly particularly sweet for Kwak - it capped a 12-year wait for the 32-year-old for a second Olympic medal after he'd previously won silver with the 5,000-meter relay team in Vancouver in 2010.
In the meantime he'd won numerous gold and other medals at World Championships competitions, but disappointingly missed out on a medal in 2018 in front of the home Korean crowd when the relay team finished fourth.
After finding redemption in Beijing, he definitely made the most of the moment.
