Olympians Laurie Hernandez and Madison Kocian brought their outstanding gymnastics skills to the baseball diamond on Saturday and blew us all away.
The gold medal winners were given the honor of throwing the first pitches for the New York Mets and Texas Rangers, and as you can imagine, they did not disappoint.

Now that she's conquered the baseball field, we're looking forward to seeing Hernandez bring her skills to the dance floor, as she joins this year's cast of Dancing with the Stars.
Final Five member Madison Kocian also got a chance to throw the first pitch on Saturday for her favorite MLB team, the Texas Rangers.

Like Hernandez, some impressive acrobatics accompanied Kocian's pitch as the 19-year-old did a handstand and walkover before tossing the ball down the plate to Jeff Banister.
