The Belgian Red Lions male hockey team won the gold medal after a nail-biting final against Australia in the Olympic Games in Tokyo on Thursday.
After the two teams finished 1-1 during the regular playing time, the Belgian team won with 3-2 after shoot-outs.
The shoot-outs were as thrilling as the match itself, but Belgian goalkeeper Vincent Vanasch saved the team.
