Simply qualifying for the Tokyo Games was an achievement in itself for veteran Chinese trampoline gymnast Dong Dong. So, the silver medal the 32-year-old won with a near-perfect performance in Tokyo was unbelievable to many fans. Dong won his first Olympic medal, a bronze, at Beijing 2008, before standing on the highest podium at London 2012. Silver was satisfaction enough for Dong in Tokyo. "The reason why I cried was not because I didn't win the gold medal. It was because so many people have helped me to compete until this day," he said.
