The 2016 Summer Olympics are in full swing, and Team U.S.A. has picked up quite a few gold medals; in fact, we currently have the most medals out of all the teams, period. Arguably one of the most exciting sports involved, women's gymnastics has captivated the hearts of Americans due to the newest household names -- Martha Karolyi's legendary Final Five team.

So what is it that's so appealing about these five young women? Is it their historic mark as the last five-person women's Olympic gymnastics team? Is it their flawless routines in nearly every event?

Possibly, but I think there's something much less superficial. Essentially, what's so appealing about Aly Raisman, Simone Biles, Gabby Douglas, Madison Kocian, and Laurie Hernandez is their collective and individual strength.

Now, I'm personally not a fan of complimenting one person by defaming another, so I'll try to stray from putting down the other nations competing in women's gymnastics this year. But I think it goes without mentioning that our women are some of the strongest, both physically and mentally. And that is putting them far ahead. Motivation and intense training alone did not allow them to win the gold for the U.S.A. in the team all around. It is their empowerment. It is their determination to prove to the world that they are strong women. And that alone is enough to get everyone on their side.

Take, for example, Biles' iconic, self-conceptualized tumble pass, "The Biles" -- a double layout half-twist with a blind landing. Biles recently stated in an interview that she's had some of her male gymnast friends attempt her signature move and none of them can complete it. With a coy look to the camera and a slight giggle, she mentioned that that's one of the reasons it's her favorite thing to do in her floor routines.

We, as young American men and women, have a role model representing our country who oozes confidence and talent. Her internal strength is something to which every individual should strive. Biles likes to employ a certain move while competing on the basis that it exhibits vigor, toughness, and power. She relishes in pushing herself, giving more than she has.

And it's not just Biles. Aly Raisman, elite gold-medalist for Team U.S.A. in both the 2012 and 2016 Summer Olympics, also exudes self-confidence. As a gymnast, her shoulders are broad and she has narrower hips, which is not what the tabloids care to highlight. Raisman has been quoted as saying that she has learned to love her body for what it can do (by the way, she's absolutely gorgeous). Even top athletes suffer from body-image issues, but Raisman mentally overcame by celebrating her accomplishments rather than focusing on what she perceives to be negatives.

With these incredible, healthy women leading our country this summer in the Olympics, every young man and woman should feel empowered. We should be celebrating ourselves for what we can do, rather than zoning in on our weaknesses. Embodying self-confidence is not simple, but it undoubtedly possible. Train your mind to self-love. Learn from The Final Five, and find honor in your abilities.
