McKayla Maroney tosses acrobatic first pitch (GIF)

Former Olympic gymnast McKayla Maroney threw out an acrobatic first pitch at U.S. Cellular Field Friday night and seemed to be happy with her effort. And that's no easy accomplishment.

You remember Maroney. The 2012 U.S. Olympic gold medalist who made her "McKayla is Not Impressed" stare a meme sensation.

Well, here she is again before the Twins-White Sox game.

We'll give her a 10.0 for the cartwheels from the mound. But as for that six-foot throw ... we're not as impressed.

Former gymnast becomes first woman to complete 'American Ninja Warrior' course (VIDEO)

Kacy Catanzaro continued her impressive run on NBC's American Ninja Warrior during Monday night's telecast and made history while doing it. 

During her incredible performance at the 2014 Dallas finals, Catanzaro became the first woman to ever qualify for "Mt. Midoriyama," a 70-foot steel structure that will push her and other seasoned athletes to their limits. It is the last obstacle course before deciding the first Ninja champion.

The former Towson State gymnast not only completed the daunting event, she literally owned the continuous barrage of rails, rings and walls that brought even Navy SEALS to their knees.

And despite a few moments dangling from the air with wobbly arms and seemingly out of reach obstacles, the 5-foot-tall, 100-pound Catanzaro did it. 

The former NCAA Southeast Regional Gymnast of the Year blew away every one of the spectators, announcers and other competitors with her strength and skills. It's easy to see why from the video below:

And, even as the first woman to ever advance out of the qualifying stage and into the finals, nobody will be calling the tiny athlete an underdog.

Gymnast makes incredible foul shot using her foot (VIDEO)

A rhythmic gymnast showed everyone a new twist on making a foul shot and her unique style has gone viral.

Noa Kadosh, a gymnastics instructor at Camp Ramah in the Pocono Mountains, makes the unbelievable basket with a one-handled forward cartwheel before sending the basketball through the net with a soft touch from her foot. Swish!  Kadosh!

Gabby Douglas: I almost quit gymnastics to work at Chick-fil-A

Things got so bad for Olympic gold medalist Gabby Douglas that, for a while, the best gymnast in the world had flirted with leaving the sport to sling chicken sandwiches at a Chick-fil-A right before she was on the brink of stardom.

Douglas, a member off the Fierce Five darlings of the London Games, confessed to friends that she was homesick and tired of the grueling training routine and longed to head home and be anything but a gymnast.

"Gymnastics is not my passion anymore," the then 15-year-old texted her mother — only seven months before claiming Olympic gold in the individual all-around gymnastics in London last summer.

"I can get a job at Chick-fil-A in Virginia Beach and live off the 14-grand I just won at World Championships," she writes in her new autobiography, "Grace, Gold & Glory: My Leap of Faith.  The book will be published Dec. 4.

"I just want to be a normal teenage kid," she wrote.

Dubbed The Flying Squirrel, Douglas became the first black woman to win the all-around gold in the sport.

The young athlete's mom, Natalie Hawkins, who supported the family while Gabby's father served in the Air National Guard, let her daughter move to Iowa and train.  She was heartbroken that Gabby wanted to drop out of the sport. It was only after the gymnast's big brother John convinced her to stick it out that she returned to the gym.

Little sis went on to win two medals in London, after beating two Russians and teammate Aly Raisman, including the top medal in her sport.

Douglas has already admitted an affinity for fast food and, shortly after The Games, told Jay Leno on "The Tonight Show" that she celebrated her Olympic medals with a couple of Egg McMuffins.

The only problem was that first lady Michelle Obama was sitting next to her and gave the carb-deprived pixie a little lecture about the dangers of a bad diet.
