Social Media Round-Up: The Final Five Flashing Gold
Team finals - check. It was game, set, match for the Final Five of Team USA this afternoon. The USA squad made Martha's final Olympic run one to remember with a team gold medal for a second Olympics in a row. The excitement and pride was shared from start to finish of this special day for gymnasts of all nations. We are happy to share today's top social media posts from a history-making competition in Rio.

Of course, Team USA flooded our timelines. These Olympic champions should be feeling the love for sure!

Before they even arrived in the arena, Maggie Haney and Laurie Hernandez were all smiles for their first Olympic final!



We were able to get a sneak peek of the gorgeous leotards worn by USA.



Gabby shared this powerful collage, thanking the Magnificent 7 for setting the stage for future USA Gymnastics greatness. #feels



When competition time arrived, the USA fans were no joke. Neither were the photographers.




With a gold secured, Martha couldn't help but smile with her "Final Five"

Best GIF comes from the one and only Martha. I love this and plan to use it heavily from now until forever.



Every team shared their excitement for this great day of competition! The silver-medal Russian team had lots to smile about!
