CNN reported on the 8th, "I know that you can more or less feel the enthusiasm of the American people. But I think it's only when you actually come home that you understand how proud the whole country is of you, not just because you won the game... It is because you represent America and show the soul of this country. Biden said.
"We are proud not only of your ability to compete, but also of your morality and courage." Biden added.
During the video conference, Biden also specifically mentioned and cheered on athletes, including middle-distance runner Isaiah Jewett and swimmer Katie Ledecky. Ledecky won gold medals in the 1500m freestyle and 800m freestyle at the Tokyo Olympics and silver in the 400m freestyle and 4x200m freestyle relays.
"Katie, are you in front of the screen?" I know you're probably going to swim a mile faster than most people run a mile. Biden joked.
In addition, the president also highly praised gymnast Simone Biles. Biles withdrew from the final of four individual gymnastics events and the women's gymnastics team competition due to mental difficulties.
"Simon Byers, you regained the courage to stand on the balance beam in the final stages of the gymnastics event and won a bronze medal, you showed our national spirit," Biden said. You have the courage that I don't have — I'm serious — and you have the courage to tell everyone, 'I need help, I need time.' You set an example for everyone – you're back on the balance beam. By the way, the project I'm most afraid of is the balance beam. ”
Biden concluded: "The Olympics are a grand event that people all over the world are watching, and nothing I do as president and others in public life can attract the attention of so many people." Through the Olympic Games, people learned what kind of people we are and what kind of qualities Americans have. Your performance is so elegant and decent. You make me so proud. ”
At the end of the meeting, the president also took the opportunity to invite athletes to visit the White House this fall.
"We're going to set a date, and if you want to, I'd like to invite all of you to the White House." That way, the people of the United States can see you again, and I can have more time to talk to you. Biden said.
