    Some familiar faces turned out to the Olympic gymnastics women's all-around final, one of the most sought-after gold medals at the Games. Many of them were other Team USA athletes, there to support their teammates Simone Biles and Suni Lee.

    Even other athletes who can do subhuman things have to admit how out-of-this-world some of Biles' and Lee's skills are. They don't hide their awe at what the gymnasts can do, proving just how difficult the sport really is.

    Here are some of the best reactions from other athletes who showed up to the women's all-around showdown to support the American gymnasts.

    Athlete reactions to USA gymnastics team in 2024 Olympics

    The USA men's basketball team was in attendance. Kevin Durant couldn't resist commenting on Biles' vault, and his teammates were taken aback by what they were watching.

    Watching Biles motivated Durant to get in the gym to work on his calves.

    Golfer Scottie Scheffler returned after making an appearance at the Team Final on Tuesday, commenting on Lee's toughness after falling during warmups.

    Lee was practicing her uneven bars routine during warmups when she took a major spill into the mat. She couldn't grab onto the top bar after a flip, leading her to faceplant into the mat.

    Lee went on to put together a masterful uneven bars routine, earning a 14.566 score in the second rotation.
