The competition was high, but we had to hand it to the Olympic stunner.
It was a night for athletes, sports personalities and commentators at this year’s ESPYs. The 2017 awards show, which was held in Los Angeles, recognized the brightest talent in the sports world, as well as memorable moments and outstanding athletic achievement.
Hosted by Peyton Manning, the event was also attended by some Hollywood favorites, including Bill Murray, Olivia Culpo and Jeremy Renner. Former first lady Michelle Obama, who stunned in a black Cushnie et Ochs dress, was front and center to honor Eunice Kennedy Shriver with the Arthur Ashe Courage Award.
LeBron James, Serena Williams and Michael Phelps also went home winners, while Kevin Durant went home a future meme .
