ESPYs Highlights 

Anyone who tuned into ABC's coverage prior to the start of the show noticed there was a live radar tracker following the USWNT's plane as it made its way from New York, where they enjoyed their victory parade, to Los Angeles.

The ladies hopped off the plane at LAX and made their way to the Microsoft Theater:

Williamson dominated the night in more ways than one. The three young Brees boys have caught Zion fever, to the point that they dressed just like him on the red carpet. (We'd love to see the text thread between Williamson and Brees coordinating that moment).

Gymnast Katelyn Ohashi won the first-ever ESPY for Best Viral Sports Moment (a sure sign of our times) for her floor routine that earned a perfect 10 score at the 2019 Collegiate Challenge. You can rewatch it here.

At the ESPYs, she showed she's ready to show off her skills at any moment when she did a handstand in heels on the red carpet:

As he prepared to accept the Best Comeback award for the St. Louis Blues, Ryan O'Reilly took his tooth out, which was definitely weird but also peak hockey in an awards show that tends to be lacking in it:

When the USWNT finally arrived and Alex Morgan claimed the Best Female Athlete award everyone knew was hers, she opened her speech with this all-time quip before making a plea for investment in women's sports:

Then, to end the night on a high note to match the rest of this joyous week, the USWNT won Best Team, because of course they did. 

All they do is win.
