Families at the Summer 2016 Olympics

1 When Kristin Armstrong's son was ready at the finish line with a hug.

Five-year-old Lucas watched his mom become the first athlete to win the same Olympic cycling event three times in a row and jumped into her arms right after. Armstrong says that he asked her, "Mama, why are you crying? You won!" and she told him, "That's what we do; we cry when we're happy."

2 When Aly Raisman's parents were squirmier than ever.

Four years later and Lynn and Rick Raisman were just as — if not more — squirmy than we've ever seen them when shown watching their daughter own it on the uneven bars. You have to love their hilarious synchronicity.

There has been a lot of press surrounding Simone Biles's adoption story during this Olympics, but Biles summed up her family tree in eight simple words: "My parents are my parents and that's it." Their love and pride they have for Simone is completely evident, and it was been exciting to cheer along with them as we all watched her go for the gold.

Twenty-one-year-old Condorelli doesn't start a race without giving his dad the finger — and his dad gives it right back. It all started when he was eight years old and frustrated by losing races to older swimmers. His dad told him, "You've got to build your confidence yourself and say eff everybody else that you're racing. . . . Every time you're behind the blocks, give me the finger and I'll give it back to you."
