As part of their post-Olympics publicity tours, U.S. Women’s Gymnastics team members Laurie Hernandez and Madison Kocian were invited to throw out first pitches at two respective baseball games.

And both gold medal winning members of the “Final Five” decided to show off more than just their throwing arms. Hernandez added an aerial flip to her first pitch for the Mets.

Meanwhile Kocian began her pitch for the Texas Rangers with an equally impressive handstand.
