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.
The love and comradery within the skateboard family, it's heartwarming ❤️ When 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 ✨#skateboarding#Olympicspic.twitter.com/eIKHuuehOn

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.
