Tons of USA athletes posted photos and video to social media during and after the Opening Ceremony in Rio on Friday. This one by Harrison Barnes was just one of them. Barnes filmed the moment that he walked out to the huge crowd along with the U.S. basketball team. It’s an awesome sight.

Toward the end of his video, Barnes even catches the team dancing to a drum beat (this team is goofy and very fun).
Another cool moment shared by athletes is when Team USA walked together through the tunnel as they made their way into the stadium and chanted, “USA! USA! USA!.” Nearly every single American athlete shared video of it on Snapchat. Here’s what Serena Williams posted via her Snap (serenaunmatched):
