10 of the most heartwarming moments from the Tokyo Olympics

Of the 34 competitors who finished the race on July 27, Belgium's Claire Michel crossed the line last with a finishing time of two hours, 11 minutes, and five seconds — more than a quarter of an hour after the winner, Insider's Alan Dawson reported.

Not far from the finish line, Michel dropped to the floor. Miller, the Norwegian who finished 24th with a time of two hours, two minutes, and 43 seconds, went over to console her.

"You're a f---ing fighter," Miller told Michel, who could be heard sobbing.

"This is Olympic spirit, and you've got it 100%," Miller added.

Argentine fencer Maria Belen Perez Maurice's Olympic run ended after a loss to Hungary's Anna Marton on Monday, July 26. But she won't be leaving the Olympics empty-handed after her coach of 17 years, Lucas Saucedo, surprised her with a marriage proposal.

The proposal came during Perez Maurice's post-match interview, Insider's Tyler Lauretta wrote. While she was speaking with reporters, Saucedo held up a sign behind her on camera with the message, "Te queres casar conmigo??? Po favo." In English: "Will you marry me??? Please."

According to Reuters, it was the second time Saucedo had proposed marriage to Perez Maurice, having been rebuffed in 2010. This time around, though, Perez Maurice said yes.

Daley and teammate Matty Lee triumphed in the men's synchronized 10-meter competition on Monday, July 26.

Speaking to press after his victory, Daley, who started competing at the Olympics at the age of 14, said he hoped his win would show young LGBTQ people that "you can achieve anything."

"I hope that any young LGBT person out there can see that no matter how alone you feel right now, you are not alone and that you can achieve anything. There is a whole lot of your chosen family out here ready to support you," he said.

He added: "I am incredibly proud to say that I am a gay man and also an Olympic champion. I feel very empowered by that."

A day after winning his gold medal, Daley uploaded a YouTube video showing how he surprised Lee with an Olympic gold ring.

Daley said he'd planned to gift the ring to Lee before they even arrived in Tokyo and had bought himself a matching piece of jewelry.

Jacoby stunned the world on July 26 with a magnificent performance in the women's 100-meter breaststroke, Insider's Tyler Lauretta reported.

The 17-year-old Alaska native came from behind to beat fellow American Lilly King and South Africa's Tatjana Schoenmaker and win a gold medal that was so shocking even she couldn't believe it.

NBC aired footage of her hometown crowd exploding in cheers when she touched the wall first.

Skateboarding made its Olympic debut in Tokyo, and godfather of the sport Tony Hawk was there to witness the event and serve as a commentator for NBC.

When he wasn't commentating, though, he could be seen watching in awe on July 25 as young skateboarders from across the world had their Olympic moment, snapping photos, and even asking many of them for pictures.

During training sessions, Hawk also appeared to exchange a bit of advice and casual conversation with some of the skateboarders.

Eight-time Olympian Oksana Chusovitina received a standing ovation on July 25 after competing in vault during the women's artistic gymnastics qualifications.

Chusovitina made her Olympic debut in 1992, where she won a team gold medal with the Soviet Union. She also won a silver medal while representing Germany in 2008.

In Tokyo, Chusovitina earned a score of 14.166, which wasn't enough for her to qualify for the event final. But the International Federation of Gymnastics tweeted that there was "not a dry eye in the house" as Chusovitina took her bow after the qualifying round.

Mollaei left Iran after he said that authorities had told him to lose to avoid facing an Israeli opponent, Sagi Muki. Iran and Israel have been in a proxy conflict since 1985.

Mollaei and Muki went on to become friends, Insider's Jackson Thompson reported. At the Olympics this year, Muki lost in the quarterfinal but supported Mollaei throughout the competition.

"I'm super happy for Saeid," Muki said, according to The Times of Israel. "I know what he's gone through, and how much he wanted it."

Mollaei dedicated his silver medal to Israel. According to The Jerusalem Post, Mollaei told Israeli channel Sports 5, "Thank you to Israel for all the good energy."

Mollaei and Muki's friendship is now being adapted into a scripted TV series.

Biles pulled out of the Tokyo Olympics women's gymnastics team final on July 27, citing mental health concerns and "the twisties," a condition in which gymnasts get lost in the air.

Team USA's Jordan Chiles, Sunisa "Suni" Lee, and Grace McCallum came up short of their gold-medal ambitions following their superstar teammates' premature exit, Insider's Meredith Cash reported. But Biles was the first to congratulate the Russian Olympic Committee athletes on their massive gold-medal upset over the United States.

After hugging her Team USA counterparts, Biles chatted with Russia's Lilia Akhaiimova, Viktoria Listunova, Angelina Melnikova, and Vladislava Urazova. She hugged the gymnasts and appeared to offer praise for their stellar, gold medal-worthy performances on the day.

Biles not only cheered on teammates Sunisa "Suni" Lee and Jade Carey in the individual all-around final on July 29 — she also supported gymnasts from other countries, too. Biles could be heard yelling "Come on, Angelina!" on NBC's broadcast before Angelina Melnikova began her routine.

In total, Biles pulled out of five events but will return to compete in the balance beam final on August 3.
