The Olympics bring together athletes from all over the world, and quite often, geopolitical problems are thrown out the window. This was the case with North Korea’s Hong Un-Jong and South Korea’s Lee Eun-Ju.

Despite the tense relations between their two countries, the two young women found the time to take a selfie together.

The selfie was taken during practice sessions before competition began. The two women competed during the same session on Sunday’s qualification round, finding more chances for international camaraderie.

Hong Un-Jong is one of the world’s best vaulters, having won gold in Beijing and in the 2014 world championships. Lee Eun-Ju finished in 57th for the uneven bars, so she didn’t qualify for the next round. But perhaps she will be cheering on her new friend from North Korea as she takes on Simone Biles and the rest of the world on Sunday.
