Team USA just celebrated their incredible success and perseverance at the White House.

Nearly 600 athletes who competed in the Tokyo Summer Games last year and the 2022 Beijing Winter Games — including over 200 medalists among them — gathered at the White House on Wednesday to meet with President Joe Biden, First Lady Dr. Jill Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff.

Dr. Biden (who was wearing a special Team USA coat) began the ceremony on the White House's South Lawn, speaking directly to the huge group of Olympians and Paralympians.

"When we cheer you on, we are more than our cities or our states or our backgrounds, we are a part of something bigger than ourselves," Dr. Biden said. "You help us believe in the impossible and leave our differences behind."

Continued the first lady, "You all are forever one of the most elite, most celebrated athletes in this world. I hope that you are proud of everything you have accomplished because we all are, we are so proud of you."

She then introduced the president, teasing that her husband was an "even greater fan of Team USA."

"Our favorite part of the Olympics was watching your families watch you, learning about who you are," President Biden said in his own speech. "Because we learn about how big and diverse and talented, how great this nation is, just how diverse we are."

Continued the president, "The pandemic made training and competing especially difficult and draining, but you did it, and we were in awe, not just of your incredible athleticism but your endurance and your state of mind, but most of all your character."
