What. a. day. Artistic gymnastics wrapped up in Rio and it has be quite a time, to say the least. Nearly every nation set new standards and etched names into history books throughout the past weeks of competition.
Every athlete has been celebrating in their own right, including some surprises along the way! The social media game was strong today so enjoy the best of the best from Rio's gymnastics finale.
Simone Biles may have had the BEST day ever. Sure five Olympic medals is cool and all, but she, along wit her #FinalFive teammates, finally met Zac Efron. Everyone is sharing a collective "OMG".
Honestly we aren't sure if Simone will even make it out of the studio.
Simone's day hasn't stopped there though. Reminder: she won her fourth Olympic gold medal today. She also shared the cover of Sports Illustrated with Michael Phelps and Katie Ledecky...OH.
Still think it couldn't get any better? Welcome, shout outs from Nathan Adrian and Reese Witherspoon.
She also got a gold-medal hug from Danell Leyva and my heart honestly cannot take anymore.
Maybe it's the final day of gymnastics mood, but everyone's posts were just oh so perfect. Eythora Thorsdottir geared up for men's parallel bar finals, nearly sticking the landing.
Arthur Nory shared this throwback of him and Diego Hypolito and some foreshadowing from May, perhaps?
Erika Fasana and Team Italy wrapped up their Olympic journey today with some A+ photos.
David Belyavskiy and Ivan Stretovich showin off their Rio hardware!
Oksana Chusovitina and some golden retrievers. Again, omg.
Team Japan and Team Netherlands doing international friend things.
The Downie sisters doing sister things. Also, #doubledownies is AMAZING.
Kim Zmeskal Burdette showing Mihai some love!
And if this photo doesn't give you chills I don't know what will.
