🧵 ACTUAL NEWS: In her remarks at an event celebrating families of the 2024
#Olympic Athletes in Paris
#FLOTUS #Biden will say the following
(an excerpt)
“There’s a moment that the cameras sometimes miss during the Olympics.
It happens before the whistle blows or the bell rings or the starting gun fires, when an athlete looks—just for a moment—to the stands, eyes searching for someone: all of you.
Your athletes’ journeys to Paris likely started many years ago—at a basketball hoop in the backyard, in a community pool, on a court at school. There, a little kid fell in love with sports and the world changed—though no one really knew it yet.
And no matter when you became a part of that adventure, you—parents, siblings, spouses, kids—have believed in them through the late nights and hard days; you’ve helped them get back up when they fell down; you’ve moved across the country, all so that our world can know their greatness.
As they leap, and sprint, and turn, America’s athletes aren’t only propelled by the years of sweat and sacrifice they’ve poured into their training.
Your love is also there, pushing them further, helping them go faster, lifting them higher as they reach for gold.
You love some pretty incredible people. Thank you for sharing them with all of us.”
