ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet shared this video on social media with the caption: “The first-ever Space Olympics! A Saturday afternoon on the International Space Station.

Four disciplines. Rules that evolved as we played 😄. Seven athletes. Four nations. Two teams. Crew cohesion and morale boosted like never before.

The first Space Olympics saw Team Crew Dragon and Team Soyuz compete in lack-of-floor-routine, no-handball, synchronised space swimming and weightless sharpshooting.”
