President Biden welcomed U.S. Olympians from this year’s Beijing Winter Olympics and last summer’s Tokyo Summer Olympics, which were delayed a year due to the pandemic, to the White House Wednesday.

Some 600 athletes attended, including competitors from the past two Paralymic Games. Biden spoke about the U.S. athletes having won some 260 medals in Beijing and Tokyo, and said they united Americans, saying, “You represent the very soul of America.”
