Lucky for us, Team USA's youngest gymnast, and Laurie Hernandez,did us all a favor by sharing a behind-the-scenes look at all the excitement (read: hard work) on her Instagram.
The passionate 16-year-passe, who is Puerto Rican American, or recently announced in an Instagram post that she's gone pro and "given up my NCAA eligibility," which means that she won't be competing at the college level in the future.

In the meantime,see Rio through Laurie's eyes, and then find out everything you need to know approximately the superstar athlete affectionately known as "baby Shakira."
