Space Olympics: Astronauts on the ISS Just Held Their Own Olympic Games

Why let all those gravity-bound athletes have all the fun at the Olympic Games? 

Astronauts at the International Space Station has just held their own "Space Olympics" with a weightless twist. There was the lack-of-floor routine gymnastic event, the No-handball where astronauts had to get a ping-pong ball through the hatch by blowing on it, synchronized space swimming, and weightless sharpshooting.

European Space Agency astronaut Thomas Pesquet tweeted: "The first Space Olympics. 4 disciplines. 7 athletes. 2 teams, and a boost for crew cohesion."

In Space Olympics, everybody wins!
