From Michael Phelps' proud mom to gymnast Aly Raisman's hilariously nervous parents, the Rio Olympics has so far been stacked with awesome moments of parents cheering on their Olympians from the stands. But before Raisman and Phelps went for the gold, their parents were encouraging them on a much smaller stage. Parenting website Fatherly is celebrating those moments with a video of future Olympians and the parents who encouraged them along the way.

The video, which features a baby freestyle swimmer, toddler table tennis player and pint-size boxer (the future stars of the 2032 Olympic team), has been a hit with Fatherly's audience of millennial dads, garnering 33 million views on Facebook since it was posted on Aug.
