Team GB has got off to a flying start at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games - gathering 24 medals in the past week.
You may have noticed all medallists are also presented with a commemorative gift by the Organising Committee.
These victory bouquets, of which there are 5,000, were created by the Nippon Flower Council and feature bright colours.
But the bouquets hold a deeper meaning, with each flower carefully selected.
Here, we explain the significance behind each one, according to the official Tokyo Olympic Games website.
Which flowers are used and what do they mean?
The flowers used for the bouquets are grown mainly in areas affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011, representing hope.
They include eustomas and Solomon’s seals from Fukushima, sunflowers from Miyagi, gentians from Iwate, and aspidistras from Tokyo.
Eustomas
When production of agricultural products dropped after the Great East Japan Earthquake, Fukushima established a non-profit organisation to grow flowers in a bid to fuel the hope of recovery.
Sunflowers
In the prefecture of Miyagi, parents who lost their children during the Great East Japan Earthquake returned to plant sunflowers on the hill where their children sought safety from the oncoming tsunami, and every year the hill becomes covered with sunflowers, the Tokyo Olympics Organising Committee says.
The sunflowers reflect the memories of the people who were affected by the disaster.
Gentians
Iwate prefecture is widely known for its production of gentians, and over half of the gentians produced in Japan come from Iwate.
Their Indigo blue colour is the same as the Tokyo 2020 Games emblem.
Meanwhile, included in each bouquet is the mascot Miraitowa.
The official Tokyo Olympics website states that the name is based on the Japanese words 'mirai', meaning 'future', and 'towa', meaning 'eternity', "representing the wish that the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games will lead to a future of everlasting hope in the hearts of everyone around the world."
The Paralympic mascot Someity comes from 'Someiyoshino' - a popular type of cherry blossom - and the phrase "so mighty".
It "can show enormous mental and physical strength, representing Paralympic athletes who overcome obstacles and redefine the boundaries of possibility."
