So… Gabby Douglas is the Camila Cabello of the group? Got it.
In honor of the country currently being split when it comes to the upcoming election, outgoing President Barack Obama decided to try some splits of his own with some national heroes recently.
4/5 of the U.S. Women’s Olympic Gymnastics Team stopped by the White House on Thursday to celebrate their gold medals with Barack and Michelle Obama — but they made sure to get some stretching time in as well, of course!

Simone Biles, Laurie Hernandez, Aly Raisman, Madison Kocian, and members of the U.S. Paralympic Team served as the very last group of Rio de Janeiro athletes to be invited to the capitol under the Obamas’ presidency — which meant the Final Five just had to take over the oval office’s official Instagram page, right?!
Unfortunately, Gabby’s wisdom tooth surgery from earlier in the week prevented her from attending, but Simone more than made up for her absence by presenting POTUS with a signed surfboard from (almost) all the Rio athletes!
We can only assume Laurie’s Dancing with the Stars competitor Ryan Lochte would have also been in attendance… if he weren’t banned from the premises!
Ch-ch-check out the rest of the Final Five’s White House Instagram takeover (below)!!!

It’s a little nervewracking to meet the President of the United States, so we’re getting into the zone the only way we know how. #FinalFive #TeamUSAA photo posted by The White House (@whitehouse) on Sep 29, 2016 at 8:01am PDT
The White House East Wing is where many of the big events take place in the White House. @LaurieHernandez_ decided to take advantage of the dance floor in the State Dining Room. #FinalFive #TeamUSAA video posted by The White House (@whitehouse) on Sep 29, 2016 at 9:14am PDT
What an incredible honor to meet President Obama. Simone presented him with a surfboard—a gift from all the @TeamUSA athletes. #FinalFive #TeamUSA 🇺🇸A photo posted by The White House (@whitehouse) on Sep 29, 2016 at 12:46pm PDT
