5 Thoughts We've All Had While Watching Olympic Gymnastics
E!

The Final Five absolutely SLAYED at the Olympics this year! They've won a total of eight medals and swept the competition. Tears were shed, and there is no doubt that the USA team is the best in the world. In honor of the Final Five, here are five thoughts we've all had while watching Olympic gymnastics.

1. USA! USA! U-S-AYYYEEE!!!!!!

There are a lot of turmoil in America right now, but the Olympics are the one of the few times I will scream my praises at the television. Patriotism is running wild and it's winning gold!

2. I just want to be able to do one good cartwheel...

Alternatively: "I used to be able to do a cartwheel, I wonder if I still can?" Believe me, the answer is no. If you try, you're just gonna hurt yourself.

3. Simone Biles is only 19. What have I been doing with my life?

Seriously. What the heck? This girl is more accomplished than I will probably ever be.

4. I have no idea how scoring works

All I know is that if you loose your balance or take an extra step, you get deducted points. Other than that, I am in no position to judge whether a routine was good or not. But that doesn't stop me!

5. I don't know these girls, but dang I'm proud of them.

There are a lot of things that people in the United States are fighting over. We are all different people who come from different places, have different skin colors, practice different religions, and have different political ideologies. It's truly a blessing when we can all come together and cheer on one team. That's one of the greatest things about being an American during the Olympics.
