Most athletes would be floored by the realization they had just won a historic double Olympic gold medal, but Britain's Max Whitlock said he was just doing his job and is keen to get back to the gym.
Whitlock ended his country's 120-year wait for a gymnastics gold medal by winning the men's floor title on Sunday before claiming a second gold less than two hours later on the pommel horse.
Making it even sweeter for Britain, compatriot Louis Smith grabbed silver on the pommel horse - a repeat of their 1-2 finish at the 2015 world championships in Glasgow.
