The White House Hosts Team USA Olympians

About 600 athletes across Team USA's Tokyo 2020 and Beijing 2022 squads - both Olympic and Paralympic - joined President Joe Biden at the White House for a celebratory gathering.

Take a look at some of the fun from the visiting Olympians, through their social media posts...

Thank you to @POTUS and the @WhiteHouse for hosting the U.S. Tokyo 2020 and Beijing 2022 Olympic and Paralympic Teams. â–¡â–¡ pic.twitter.com/31ukcSQ3Ci

"We believe: In America, anything is possible.  And you are the explanation of what we mean.  You are — it’s all about possibility, breaking limits.  You represent the very soul of America, and that’s not hyperbole.  You genuinely do."

- President Joe Biden to Team USA, May 4, 2022

In @TeamUSA, we see who we are as a nation. A nation that can be defined by a single word: possibilities. They represent that very soul of America, and it was an honor to welcome them to the White House. pic.twitter.com/CBaR211WGD
