Social Media Round-Up: Event Finals Day One
The best of the best on individual events today put on quite a show in Rio. History was made after nail-biting performances with two full days of event final action left. Remaining busy on social media, athletes and coaches have been showing some behind the scenes photos and of course, their pride for these awesome athletes. Enjoy today's top posts.

Filling the arena with cheers and screams, Laurie Hernandez and Aly Raisman played cheerleader before their big day in event finals!




These two also wrapped up their final practice in Rio! 



They had plenty to cheer for, too! Alex Naddour marked history for the men with his bronze medal on pommel horse! Jake Dalton sent out some love.



Speaking of Alex's performance, after becoming the most decorated gymanst in U.S. history, Simone managed to sneak out to cheer him on!
