Former first ladyMichelle Obamais still in charge.

How many other non-sports stars could earn perhaps thebiggest applauseat WednesdaysESPY Awardsin Los Angeles?

After receiving a standing ovation upon being introduced, Obama gave a heartfelt speech as she presented the Arthur Ashe Award for Courage to Special Olympics founder Eunice Kennedy Shriver, posthumously.

She knew that when we give others a chance to fulfill their greatest potential, we all win, Obama said, per The Hill.

Obama described how Shriver, a champion for people with intellectual disabilities,created the Special Olympicsin the 1960s and turned the event into a global phenomenon.

Through her passionate service she made the world more welcoming, Obama said. The former fab FLOTUS also got props for slaying in a cutout dressby Cushnie et Ochs.

We think Shrivers son, Tim, who accepted the award on her behalf, summed up Obamas presence best: Once a great first lady, still a great first lady.
