Before the distracting #NBCfails, swimming pool rivalries and Twitter spoilers, we were able to focus on the most important thing at the Olympics: the scrunchies.
A clever Tumblr, Olympic Scrunchies, brings us back to the hair securing basics. These fluffy cotton accessories have lost their golden touch for the American ladies, but you'll still spot a few of their rivals sporting the accessory.
Team USA's "Fab Five" may have wiped the floor with their competition during the Women's Gymnastics competitions, but the 1996 "Magnificent Seven" will always have our hearts. They had stamina, they had grace and most importantly of all, they had scrunchies. Doesn't Jordyn Wieber know the American way? Apparently not.
