Simone Biles And Final Five Gymnasts Are Special K Cover Girls
No Wheaties for the Final Five; the team goes with another cereal win
Simone Biles and the entire women's gymnastics team competing at this year's Rio Olympics—dubbed the Final Five—have been crushing it. Biles alone is already taking home three gold medals, with a chance to add one two to that tally.
With this type of breakout success typically comes a slew of endorsements, most notably from Wheaties. But instead of gracing the iconic orange box, these five ladies have landed the cover of Special K.

Olympics aside, when Biles is off the training clock, she has admitted to preferring pizza to the healthy stuff, telling ABC, "It doesn't even matter if I don't win a self gold, after every meet, I have pizza—pepperoni pizza." (Us, too, Simone.)
With Biles and teammates out of the running, the question remains: Who will grace the cover of the Wheaties box this year? Swimmers Michael Phelps or Katie Ledecky are likely candidates.
