The 2016 women’s gymnastics team that the United States sent to the Rio Olympics might have been the most dominant team the sport has seen at the Games.
The quintet of Simone Biles, Gabby Douglas, Laurie Hernandez, Madison Kocian and Aly Raisman didn’t just win another team gold medal for the U.S., following in the footsteps of 2012’s Fierce Five, they posted the highest combined score on each of the four event apparatus.
In the individual portion of the meet, Biles, Hernandez, Kocian and Raisman each won at least one medal.
And the American domination hasn’t stopped, with Biles leading the women to a fifth straight world team title last October in Germany.
