Skateboarder Misugu Okamoto of Japan finished short of a medal when she fell on her last run in the park finals at the Tokyo Olympics.
Although Okamoto, 15, came in fourth, her fellow competitors made sure she felt like a winner as they hugged her, lifted her up on their shoulders and carried her away.
Now that’s sportsmanship.
Japan’s Sakura Yosozumi won the gold medal, ahead of silver medalist Kokona Hiraki of Japan and bronze medalist Sky Brown of Great Britain.

The love and comradery within the skateboard family, it's heartwarmingWhen all the other skaters raised up Misugu Okamoto as a winner to cheer her up even after she fell because they know she's an absolute star
