Cousins may be an athletic legend, but he's enjoying the sights in Rio as much as anyone else. Also he just casually posted that video of the US Basketball team singing to Vanessa Carlton like the whole internet wasn't watching. Here's hoping for more group karaoke.

If you're still mourning the retirement of Kerri Walsh Jennings's OG partner Misty May-Treanor, her new partner April Ross's Instagram will comfort you. She trains hard but throws in a good amount of silly selfies, too.

Claressa is a fighter, in sport and at heart. She's blown expectations out of the water and was the first woman to win gold in Women's Boxing at the London Olympics in 2012.

This year Ibtihaj, a fierce competitor on the Fencing team, made history as the first Muslim-American woman to compete in the Olympics wearing a hijab. There's even a picture of her with Michelle Obama and we're sure they became fast friends, so look out for that #friendshipgoals relationship.

Not only is Phelps officially GOAT (greatest of all time // greatest olympian [of] all time), but he's not afraid to take a selfie on Instagram, either; though we would like to formally recommend he join Snapchat for even more fun selfie potential.

We'll also give a shoutout to adorable Boomer Phelps's personal Instagram, because if he swims anything like his dad, we'll be seeing more of him in the 2032 Olympics. 

Allyson is a total badass on the track and on social media, where she posts killer athleisure looks that make us all want to be Olympians—and intense training videos that remind us why we're not.

Max is a dominant force on the court in skill and sheer height (he's 6'9'') yet he still manages to fit himself in the screen for a selfie or two across his social media platforms — which is great for us because he's kind of a babe.
