RIO DE JANEIRO, Aug. 18 (UPI) — Peanut butter, bananas, chicken, vegetables, salmon, and avocados.
Those are the foods that fueled Team USA’s women’s gymnastics team to gold medals in Rio de Janeiro.
The Final Five, minus Gabby Douglas, answered questions Wednesday on Twitter from several celebrities, including: The Rock, Zac Efron, Reese Witherspoon, and First Lady Michelle Obama.
“Hey #FinalFive! We are so proud of you. What healthy foods keep you fueled as you go for gold? #LetsMove #AskFinalFive,” the FLOTUS account tweeted.
Simone Biles responded: proteins, fruits, and vegetables. Aly Raisman said salmon, avocado, whole wheat bread, almonds, pineapples, and Greek yogurt. Laurie Hernandez said peanut butter. Madison Kocian said chicken and vegetables.
Efron asked: “I know @TheRock likes cookies. What’s your favorite cheat meal when you’re not training?”
The group responded by saying it likes ice cream and pizza.
The Rock responded and asked his own question: “I’m the Cookie Monster. What’s the FIRST thing you can’t wait to do when you get home? #AskFinalFive,” he asked.
The group responded by saying it couldn’t wait to watch Netflix, see puppies, eat, do nothing, and see its family and friends.
Witherspoon asked who the gymnasts’ favorite female athletes are and what quotes motivated them most.
Biles left Rio with five medals, while Raisman won three. Hernandez won two and Kocian each won two medals. Douglas claimed a gold medal in the women’s team final.
