I recently read that the reason for so many wins by Team USA in gymnastics is the break with the traditional training styles, recently adding a lot of strength training, like weight work, where traditionally, gymnasts were very slim.

Looking at the photos, these young ladies look incredibly powerful and strong, far more so than gymnasts of the past.

They are sweet kids..Simone Biles and Laurie Hernandez both have strong religious beliefs..Laurie tweets all the time passages from the Bible, same goes for Simone..Aly is a proud Jewish girl, her performances are always in tribute to the Israeli athletes murdered in Munich

Thank you for that reminder, Sarah! Actually, I didn't realize super-cute Laurie Hernandez often tweets Bible passages. That's wonderful They are all so sweet and talented. Great role models...

What wonderful athletes these gymnasts are...I admire and am in awe of the dedication it takes to achieve such greatness.I loved watching the Olympics. I always do.

Rio is a beautiful natural setting.

So does Simone they both do it, sweet kids..So proud of all of them they did such an amazing job..Simone’s birth mother was a drug addict she was put into foster care and adopted by two great parents who raised her well..her life could have gone in the opposite direction but with the guidance of two adoring parents she made it so happy for her

When girls start training incredibly had before puberty The onset of puberty is effected. Look at any female athletes in a sport that start training that young (Gymnasts, figure skaters) and you will see it.
