The Olympics have been full of many amazing moments. From the fantastic swims by Michael Phelps, to the amazing performances from the "Final Five", Rio has given us some pretty unforgettable moments. Both in the competitions and outside, the athletes have put on quite a show. But, the events are not the only thing the athletes are doing during the games. Many have been updating their social media to engage with fans as the games go on. Here's five of my personal favorites. If you just can't get enough of Team USA, check out these awesome posts.
1. Ryan Lochte's video of his grandma carrying the olympic torch
Most of you may have heard about this by now, but it stays one of the most adorable posts of Rio. Lochte's grandma can is seen being pushed around her nursing home as she carries an Olympic torch. Basically the cutest grandma on the planet.

As if anyone needed another reason to love Team USA swimming, this hilarious video is for you. Seeing someone of the best swimmers in the world jamming out in the car and dancing the way we all do, is a great reminder that they are actually regular people.

Simone Biles has basically been the star of Team USA. The media loves her and it seems so does America. One of the cutest things about has to be her young age. At just sixteen years old she has become a household name. And if that isn't reason enough to find her adorable, she stands at just 4' 8". This pic she tweeted really puts that height difference into perspective. Like seriously, how is this even possible??

Following his apparent downward spiral amid charges involving alcohol and drugs, many worried for the path Michael Phelps was heading down. However, these past few weeks in interview after interview he has made it clear to everyone that his family is the best thing that's ever happened to him. So while this one is definitely one of my favorites, any post with his family is pretty adorable.

5. Aly Raisman's post after securing the silver
Following the disappointing finish for Aly Raisman in the olympics four years ago, the build up to this moment was insane. It seemed as if there wasn't a single person on the planet that wasn't rooting for her to come out on top. In case anyone was doubting what this moment really meant to Raisman, this post makes it clear. Excuse me as I hold back the tears.
