Did The Today Show Guess The Olympic Team?
This morning the Today Show hosted five members of the National Team as 'the Olympic hopefuls' for Rio 2016. Gabby Douglas, Aly Raisman, MyKayla Skinner, Simone Biles, and Madison Kocian were in the spotlight talking about their lifelong dream of making the Olympics.



While these five athletes are surely Olympic hopefuls, there are many other frontrunners that could punch a ticket to the Games. Most notably, Maggie Nichols who was a vital member of the 2015 World Championship team, Bailie Key who has consistently proven to be a strong asset in competition, and several new seniors such as Laurie Hernandez, Ragan Smith, and Norah Flatley who will definitely give everyone a run for their money.



In the Today Show's article, the girls listed some of their favorite things and these were our favorite collective takeaways:

  • If they could have a cheat meal together, it would be pizza and frozen yogurt.
  • If they met up for a group cardio session, you would find them on the elliptical.
  • If they could only do one event for the rest of their lives, it would be floor.
  • If they had a girls day, they would go shopping.
  • If they could choose a place to be in August 2016, Rio it is.
