When two worlds collide, this is what it looks like.

American sporting legends seemingly come in all shapes and sizes, and there was a meeting of two of the biggest ones at the Super Bowl on Sunday. Well, one of the biggest ones anyway.

Because when Simone Biles met Shaquille O’Neal , it made for quite the image.

The 4ft 8ins Biles – who captured the hearts of American sports fans when she followed up her 10 Gymnastics World Championships gold medals with four golds and a bronze at the Rio Olympics – made a beeline for the 7ft 1ins basketball legend Shaq, a four-time NBA champion and 15-time all-star.

And this is what it looked like.

Glorious, isn’t it?

The 71cm height difference between the pair made the image a viral hit, with the shot being liked over 400,000 times after being posted on Biles’ Instagram page.

We just. Can’t. Stop. Looking. At it.
