Spectacular moments of sportsmanship at the Olympics

Athletes across all events have been seen helping each other and being supportive of each other's successes

Winning an Olympic medal is an incredible achievement, and something athletes train their entire lives for but it's not the only important thing about the Games.

At the Paris Games there have already been lots of examples of athletes supporting each other and holding each other up, in wonderful moments of sportsmanship - here are some of our favourites.

Biles and Chiles bow down to Andrade

Rebeca Andrade beat Simone Biles by 0.133 points

Simone Biles may be the best gymnast of all time, but Rebeca Andrade of Brazil has consistently given her a run for her money in Paris.

Simone had previously said Rebeca was the only gymnast who had ever made her nervous - and rightly so, as in the women's artistic gymnastics floor final, Andrade beat Biles by 0.133 points and took home the gold medal.

But instead of being upset about it, Biles and her team USA teammate Jordan Chiles (who won bronze) bowed down to their rival, who celebrated her first ever gold on floor at an international competition.

And Andrade was incredibly moved by the gesture: "It was so caring from them," she told reporters in Portugese.

"They are the best in the world. So a scene like that means a lot to me. It’s so grand and I feel so honoured, we are always rooting for the best for all."

Handball player carries injured rival off the court

Angola's captain Albertina Kassoma was carried off the pitch by Brazil's Tamires Araujo Frossard

During a tense match between Angola and Brazil, both trying for a spot in the handball quarter-finals, Angolan captain Albertina Kassoma suffered a nasty knee injury.

She tried and failed to stand up to walk off the pitch, and her team doctor struggled to help her up too.

It was at that moment that Brazil's Tamires Aroujo Frossard marched over and swept Kassoma from the floor, and carried her to the bench.

She later told journalists: "There was no way I wouldn't help her."

Hayden Wilde congratulates Team GB's Alex Yee after being beaten by him

Hayden gave Alex a hug after losing the gold medal to him in the men's triathlon

The triathlon is a brutal event - it involves a 1.5km swim, 40km bike and 10km run.

So you can imagine how hard it must have been for New Zealand's Hayden Wilde, who was in the lead for most of the men's final, when Team GB's Alex Yee overtook him near the end to deny him a gold.

But there were no hard feelings - in fact, Wilde went straight over to Yee at the finish line and sat down with him to congratulate him on his victory.

Later on social media, Wilde posted a photo of the two of them and said: "Love yah mate. Deserved Olympic champ."

Badminton silver medallist from China holds up tiny flag in injured opponent's honour

He Bingjiao won silver but was lucky to be there after Spanish opponent Carolina Marin pulled out

He Bingjiao from China won the silver medal in the women's badminton finals, but that's not why she's getting praise on social media.

When she went up to the podium, she held up a tiny pin with the Spanish flag on it alongside her medal.

That's because her opponent in the finals, Carolina Marin, was actually in the lead before having to pull out because of an injury.

Bingjiao wanted to honour her rival during the medal ceremony, and told reporters: “I hope she can see this scene and I wish her a speedy recovery.”

Runner helps injured opponent on the track

Silina Pha Aphay rushed over to help Lucia Moris

During the women's 100m sprint heats, Lucia Moris of South Sudan fell to the floor after badly hurting her leg.

Without a second thought, Lao's Silina Pha Aphay ran straight to where Moris had fallen, and stayed with her until the paramedics arrived.
