Fu Yuanhui had won the bronze medal during the women's 100 metre backstroke final but hadn't realised it until she was told by a reporter.
The Olympic swimmer has already become a hit on Chinese social media after her hilarious interview with reporters after her semi-final heat on August 7.
The swimmer had just finished her race when she was being interviewed by China Central Television.
She starts telling the reporter: 'Even though I did not win a medal..'
The reporter then steps in telling her that she has actually come third.
She replies: 'What??! Third?'
After the reporter confirming the result she says: 'I did not know. In that case it's not bad at all.'
The swimmer came in joint third place with Canada's Kylie Masse who also posted a time of 58.76. The race was won by Katinka Hosszu from Hungary while Kathleen Baker from the US won a silver medal.
