Family reactions are fun to watch
This is not the first time that there have been family reactions that took over the Internet. When Caeleb Dressel earned gold medals at the Tokyo Olympics 2020 for swimming, his whole family cheered him on and appeared in the post-race interview, as an emotional Dressel could not contain his tears.
Likewise, Shaun White appeared for his last Winter Olympics but failed to win a final Olympic medal. In his post-race interview, he spoke with his family over a video call and broke down with the support and love he received from them.
