Wednesday, August 24 2016 by SNTV
  • The 'Final Five' champion U.S. women's gymnastics team have described representing the U.S as an honour, following their Olympic gold medal success in Rio de Janeiro.

    SOUNDBITE (English) Simone Biles, Olympic Gymnast:

    "It was a phenomenal experience I think for all of us as a whole. We went over there and we did a very good job. We broke a couple of records and I don't think we could more proud of ourselves."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Aly Raisman, Olympic Gymnast:

    "It's incredible the view is so beautiful. I'm like a little bit afraid of heights so it's a little scary but it's incredible I can't help but just look out in awe, it's amazing."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Simone Biles, Olympic Gymnast:

    "It was a huge honor (to carry the US flag). Whenever I heard about it I was just like 'me?' I don't know the Olympic experience for me just kept getting better and better. We won team gold and then we brought home a couple more medals and then I got to meet Zac (Effron) and then I got to carry the flag and it was just a huge honor."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Gabby Douglas, Olympic Gymnast:

    "The experience was amazing and just being back at another Olympic Games was just awesome. Especially to grab another team gold medal was just ahhh. I don't even have words because it was just so special."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Madison Kocian, Olympic Gymnast:

    "It was an amazing experience. It was my first Olympics so it was very fun especially with being here with my favorite girls on this team and coming back with two medals it's just a dream come true."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Simone Biles, Olympic Gymnast (when asked about the next Olympics):

    "Not yet I mean I think everyone jumps to the conclusion about the next Olympics but we've worked so hard for this moment we just really have to take it in and have fun with it."
