Figure skater Eric Radford won one for the Canadian — and the Rainbow — flags, becoming the first openly gay winter Olympian to take home a gold medal.

“This is amazing! I literally feel like I might explode with pride,” he tweeted Monday when Canada was awarded the gold medal in the team figure skating event.

He also took to Instagram, posing with Adam Rippon — the bronze-medal figure skater who is the first openly gay athlete from the US to compete in the Winter Games.

“So proud to be wearing these medals and showing the world what we can do!” he captioned the photo, along with several hashtags including #fabulous, #proud and #outathletes.

The head of the International Olympic Committee’s athletes commission, Angelo Ruggiero, called the win “encouraging.”

“It sends a strong message to that fundamental principle of acceptance globally. So I think it’s fantastic,” he said.

Matthew Mitcham was the first out athlete to take home a gold in the Summer Olympics when he won the 10-meter dive competition in Beijing in 2008.

He tweeted an image Monday with the message “I am grateful for dentists, seeing others be happy, and watching openly LGBT athletes win Olympic medals” and a caption that read: “Today’s gratitude list inspired by @Adaripp (Rippon) and @Rad85E (Radford).”
