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!
Hometown heroes in Brazil celebrating appropriately after grabbing silver and bronze in the men's floor final.
Celine van Gerner sent out some love for Madison Kocian after her silver-medal performance.
Aliya Mustafina defended her Olympic bar gold with near perfection and plenty of smiles!
Great Britain's golden boy Max Whitlock made history today and celebrated with his teammates.
Max seemed to spark the fire for women's team member Amy Tinkler, who is already in the zone for floor finals.
Giulia Steingruber of Switzerland also made history for her own country, earning the first Olympic gymnastics medal for the Swiss ever. She wrapped it up with a simple "thank you". Thank YOU Giulia for such awesome vaults!
Shallon Olsen and her coach were all smiles after their first ever event finals!
These athletes are meeting some top notch legends out in Rio. Aly and Laurie pictured with some of the greatest of all time.
Rhonda Faehn, a legend in her own right, with the king of swimming!
Lieke Wevers, going for tennis in Tokyo?

So cute! @Simone_Biles took a break from press to make sure she caught @Alex_Naddour on pommel horse. #gymnastics #TeamUSA
