NEW YORK -- How do you follow winning Olympic gold at the Rio Olympics? How about a chance to see Hamilton on Broadway?The Tony Award-winning smash musical on Tuesday night welcomed the U.S. womens gymnastics team -- Simone Biles, Aly Raisman, Gabby Douglas, Madison Kocian and Laurie Hernandez -- who gave the show a standing ovation and greeted the cast onstage afterward at the Richard Rodgers Theatre.The gymnasts, dressed in skirts and rompers, sat together in Row G to take in Lin-Manuel Mirandas hip-hop-flavored biography about the first U.S. treasury secretary, a night that had athletic gold meeting theatrical gold.I thought you were amazing, Raisman told Tony Award-nominee Brandon Victor Dixon, who just happened to be making his debut appearance replacing Tony Award-winner Leslie Odom Jr. as Aaron Burr.Gymnastics is my favorite Olympic sport, hands-down. Since the days of Kim Zmeskal, Ive been about the U.S. gymnastics team. So, I love these ladies. Im so proud of them. I worship them. I think theyre amazing and I got so hyped when I heard they were in the audience tonight, Dixon said.The U.S. womens team won gold while also winning its second straight Olympic title and third overall. The team won a total of nine medals, including a record-tying four gold medals for Biles.The women had to rush through Times Square -- at one point virtually sprinting through the crowds -- to get to the theater in time after taping The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon at Rockefeller Plaza.Rhonda Faehn, senior vice president of USA Gymnastics womens program, said adding Hamilton to their busy post-Olympic schedule was an opportunity of a lifetime. While they were in Rio, Biles coach would blast the Hamilton cast album for the athletes. It was just meant to be, Faehn said.The cast and crew took turns taking photos with the athletes after the show and Renee Elise Goldsberry, who plays Angelica Schuyler, brought her young daughter to meet the so-called Final Five. Goldsberry and her fellow Schuyler sisters -- Lexi Lawson and Jasmine Cephas Jones -- then posed for a photo with the five athletes, their hands in the air as they riffed off a lyric in the show by shouting Work!The show has been celebrated for putting African-American, Asian and Latinos at the center of Americas birth and the U.S. Olympic team is a mix of races and ethnicities -- black, white, Latina, Jewish.Theyre just like tiny versions of us, said Okieriete Onaodowan, who plays both Hercules Mulligan and James Madison. Its amazing but its also remarkable what theyre doing, just to be able to perform and not choke under that pressure. At a young age, to be able to perform that way and keep your cool? Im totally impressed.The night before, the Broadway cast welcomed U.S. swimmer Maya DiRado, who won two golds, a silver and bronze at Rio. She brought both of her gold medals to the show to share with the cast. She and the Final Five join a long list of celebrities at Hamilton including Beyonce, Kanye West, Bill Clinton, Julia Roberts, Eli Manning, Dave Matthews and Andre 3000.---Online: http://www.hamiltonbroadway.com---Mark Kennedy can be reached at http://twitter.com/KennedyTwits Fake Nike NFL Jerseys .

Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Free Shipping .ca looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable.This is the year Valtteri Bottas needs to step up, dominate his intra-team battle at Williams with Felipe Massa and prove he is a future F1 champion. The 2011 GP3 champion is regularly tipped for the big time and was heavily linked with Ferrari in 2015, but the Scuderia reportedly decided the Finn wasnt worth the money - reputedly £10m - it would take to extract him from his Williams contract.Bottas has finished ahead of his team-mate in the drivers standings every year during his F1 career. Of the current field, its a boast that only Felipe Nasr and Max Verstappen can match - and theyve yet to start their second seasons in the sport. The Finns F1 record certainly stands scrutiny. In his rookie campaign of 2013 he scored four points to Pastor Maldonados one, in 2014 he scored 52 more points than Massa and in 2015 he beat the Brazilian by 15 points despite starting one less race.But lets play devils advocate for a moment. If Bottas is to be more than just a very good F1 driver should he not be beating Massa by a more considerable margin? The Brazilian was only fleetingly considered Ferraris best bet for a championship, spending most of his time as the No 2 driver. That only 15 points separated a driver reaching his peak driving years and another in the twilight of his career will be a concern. So what does Bottas need to do in 2016? He needs to produce the kind of domination Sebastian Vettel has enjoyed over Kimi Raikkonen at Ferrari - particularly if he is to prove himself a better proposition than his compatriot.The German finished 128 points ahead of his veteran team-mate. Vettel also out-qualified Raikkonen 15-4 - rather more impressive than Bottas 11-8 victory over Massa.Thats the sort of resounding advantage Bottas must be aiming for. Perhaps that will be made possible this year by a tighter fight for third in the Constructors Championship. For the past two years Williams have been the clear third-best team, meaning Bottas and Massa were always likely to finish in close proximity to each other.ddddddddddddIf Red Bull return to form in 2016, and Force India and Toro Rosso carry their testing pace into the season, Williams could find themselves under pressure.A multi-car squabble could potentially give Bottas the opportunity to shine if he can finish with several cars between himself and Massa. It might even suggest he is outperforming the FW38. There is a feeling that this is a make or break year for Bottas with the driver market set for a reshuffle in 2017 with potential vacancies at Ferrari and Mercedes.At 26, he is no longer a youngster by modern F1 standards. Eighteen-year-old Max Verstappen is the new hot property on the grid, while Carlos Sainz and Daniil Kvyat are just 21.Like Bottas, Nico Hulkenberg was tipped to star for one of the top teams, but at 28 is now considered to have missed his chance at F1s top table. And there is a danger Bottas could do the same.However, the prospect of new rules in 2017 could see some teams opt for an experienced head which could give the Finn an edge over some talented youngsters. With a 2017 vacancy at Ferrari highly likely, Bottas needs to comprehensively outperform Massa, particularly in the first half of 2016, to demonstrate he is worthy of a seat alongside Vettel.The first race of the 2016 F1 season, the Australian GP, is exclusively live on Sky Sports F1.
