So Aly Raisman, Laurie Hernandez and Simone Biles flaunted their unbridled joy the way a bunch of champs should, with a victorious dancing video, and the flowers fell everywhere. Judges like to see gymnasts stunting with their own unique routines, and these Olympians do not disappoint in this breathless impromptu video. Look at the impeccable form as they execute totally unplanned twerks. Gabby Douglas and Madison Kocian will join the three dancers in Rio, and Douglas and Raisman were both teammates on the gold medal-winning Olympic team in London in 2012.
