Simone Biles, Laurie Hernandez & Women's Gymnastics Team Complete Podium Training For Olympics

Simone Biles leads the way into the arena for podium training ahead of the 2016 Rio Summer Olympics at Olympic Arena on Thursday (August 4) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

The 19-year-old athlete joined team captain Aly Raisman, Laurie Hernandez, Madison Kocian, and Gabby Douglas at the arena, trying out each area that they’ll be competing in starting on Sunday, August 7th.

“It’s good to have someone like that to keep us accountable and really just motivate us,” Gabby said of Aly as team captain for her second Olympic games. “You need someone like that, or else the team starts kind of falling apart and you’re not together as one. So you kind of need that one person to rally everyone.”
