The US men's gymnastics team is full of triple threats: talented, good looking and silly.

When Team USA found out it was going to Rio back in June, members were congratulated by a cascade of red, white and blue balloons. And the goofballs were loving it.

If you feel uneasy about ogling people who should be admired for their talent, don't worry -- the men are okay with it.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Team USA's men have sort of been objectifying themselves in hopes of getting more press.

“Maybe compete with our shirts off,” Team USA gymnast Sam Mikulak said. “People make fun of us for wearing tights. But if they saw how yoked we are maybe that would make a difference.”

All five of the US men's gymnasts have recently shared shirtless photos, proving that they really don't mind gaining star power through their star physical features. We definitely don't have a problem with it.

We can't decide which photos we enjoy more: the silly ones or the shirtless ones.
