Lee Eun-Ju and Hong Un Jong may be competitors, and they may be from North and South Korea (two countries still at war)- but that didn't stop them from taking an epic selfie at the Olympics! We're sure the peace sign thrown up here is no accident.

Well done, ladies. Well done.

The pair spent some time talking and laughing together during the qualifying rounds of artistic gymnastics. They might not be on the same team, but they do share a country.

Staying relaxed

The internet has since gone crazy for the image, and it's not hard to see why! Because even amidst Politics, Violence, and the stresses of competition, two teenage girls can still become friends. These two ladies truly embody the spirit of the Olympics.

Here's hoping they got to hang out a little off camera too!
