Last week, former First Lady Michelle Obama took to X, to highlight what for me has been the most impressive part of the Olympics.

“I’m still not over this beautiful moment of sisterhood and sportsmanship!," she wrote, sharing a now-viral photo of American gymnasts Simone Biles and Jordan Chiles bowing to Brazil's Rebecca Andrade as she celebrated her gold medal.
