{"id":13064,"count":1,"description":"<h2 style=\"text-align: left\">Fierce Five<\/h2>\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left\">The Fierce Five was the artistic gymnastics team that won the second team gold medal for the United States<\/h2>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">, and the first gold medal on international soil, in the women's team competition at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left\">Fab Five members : Gabby Douglas, McKayla Maroney, Aly Raisman, Kyla Ross, and Jordyn Wieber.<\/h2>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Later in the Olympic Games, Douglas won a gold medal in the individual all-around event, becoming the first African-American to ever do so; Maroney won silver on vault; Raisman, the team captain, won bronze on balance beam and gold on floor exercise.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left\">How the Fierce Five Olympic gymnastics team got its nickname<\/h3>\r\n<blockquote>That\u2019s what media dubbed Gabby Douglas, Aly Raisman, Jordyn Wieber, McKayla Maroney and Kyla Ross, whose triumph highlights NBCSN\u2019s Olympic Games Week coverage on Thursday night. A full schedule is here.<\/blockquote>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">But Fab Five had already been taken by the University of Michigan men\u2019s basketball team of the early 1990s, which for a time featured five freshmen in the starting lineup. Jalen Rose, a member of that basketball team, took issue with it being reused.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">\u201cTo use the nickname just points and screams of lazy journalism by the national media, that\u2019s really what it is,\u201d Rose said during the London Olympics, according to a podcast. \u201cIt\u2019s no fault at all of the young gymnasts. But I really wish they would have come up with an even more creative tag for them and their gold medal pursuit.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left\">The Fab Five: Jordyn Wieber, Gabby Douglas, and the U.S. Women's Gymnastics Team<\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Meet the five <strong>gymnasts<\/strong> who will represent the United States at the 2012 <strong>London Olympics<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">A children's biography, The Fab Five: Jordyn Wieber, Gabby Douglas and the U.S. Women's Gymnastics Team tells each team member's life story as they rose from young gymnasts with big dreams to become international superstars of their sport.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Discover the stories of Jordyn Wieber, Gabby Douglas, McKayla Maroney, Aly Raisman and Kyla Ross as they aim for gold in London!<\/p>","link":"https:\/\/www.virlan.co\/trends\/tag\/fab-five-gymnastics\/","name":"Fab Five Gymnastics","slug":"fab-five-gymnastics","taxonomy":"post_tag","meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Fab Five Gymnastics | The Fierce Five was the artistic gymnastics team<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The Fierce Five was the artistic gymnastics team.
