Fans spotted the heartbreaking reaction of one Chinese Olympian after his major error cost his nation gold at the Paris Olympics.
China are never far off the top of the Olympic Games medal table, but on Monday they missed the chance to win gold in the gymnastics.
China looked set to take top spot in the men's artistic team all-around final, but two costly mistakes from gymnast Su Weide cost them dear and meant they had to settle for silver.

The event sees teams of four compete at multiple different disciplines with every score counting towards the team's total.
Su Weide made his mistakes during his horizontal bar routine, so his score dragged the rest of the team down.
The 24-year-old fell from the bar twice in quick succession during his routine, resulting in China being deducted two points for the double mistake.

China finished with a score of 259.062 and were pipped to gold by Japan, who scored 259.594.
The United States took bronze, while Team GB missed out on a podium finish by coming fourth.
Fans on social media had plenty of sympathy for Su, but it wasn't his double mistake that caught their attention.

After returning to the side of the arena, a visibly upset Su sat away from his teammates and none of them went over to console him.
"Poor guy absolutely devastating for him," one fan wrote, while another commented: "teammates showed him plenty of support afterwards…..NOT.!"
Other fans criticised Weide's teammates, commenting "disgraceful reactions from his teammates there," and "you win as a team you lose as a team they should have supported him."
Su Weide will have the chance to redeem himself in the coming days in the individual events.
