Meet the 'Fierce 5' of the US Women's Gymnastics Team

"Athletes come in all shapes and sizes," but nothing emphasizes that more than a recent photo of two vastly opposite Olympians currently floating around Twitter.

She may stand under five feet tall, but Biles is one of the most feared Olympians in Rio. Lee, a 6-foot-8 volleyball gold medalist is chasing yet another title.

Biles begins competition on Sunday, Aug. 7 with Lee and the rest of the USA indoor volleyball team starting on the same day.

Now... how about a photo of Biles next to the USA Basketball team?!
