The svelte seven? Nats rookies look Rio-ready in Olympic uniforms

We've seen Gabby Douglas, McKayla Maroney and other members of the U.S. women's gymnastics team making the post-Olympics stadium rounds during the last few weeks after taking home gold in London .
 
But what about 2016? Will the "Fierce Five," four years older and possibly shell-shocked by their sudden celebrity status, be able to defend their title in Rio?

Fear not, America. If Gabby and friends aren't up to the challenge, Bryce Harper and the Nationals class are prepared to carry the torch.
