The United States women's gymnastics team put a hefty beat down on the rest of the world, flipping and twisting and turning their way to history with a dominant gold medal in the team event on Tuesday night.

Also on Tuesday, the team -- comprised of Simone Biles, Aly Raisman, Laurie Hernandez, Gabby Douglas and Madison Kocian -- revealed its nickname.

They called -- and will call -- themselves the "Final Five."

The group is the last set of women who were led by retiring coach Martha Karolyi, and the name serves as a fitting tribute to the coach who helped them dominate the rest of the competition.

It will also be the last time gymnastic teams feature five contestants with the event switching to four-member teams beginning in the 2020 Summer Games in Tokyo.

This particular team came into the Olympics with high expectations and more than met them.

"We're going in as the best team in the world," Raisman said before the games began. "So we should carry ourselves that way, not be scared and shaky because we have that pressure. It should be the opposite.

"You know, you walk in like you're number one and I think that's intimidating to everyone else."

Raisman was spot on with her belief, because things weren't even remotely close during the competition:

The 8.209 point victory by the United States (185.238) over Russia (175.279) is the largest margin of victory at a major gymnastics meet under the current scoring system. In the four previous Olympics this century, the margin of victory has not exceeded 1.5 points. They also became the first American women's team to win back-to-back gold medals at the Olympics.

You usually only see a difference of two points in Olympic gymnastic meets, making it entirely fitting for the Final Five to stroll out of Rio as an utterly dominant farewell on multiple levels.
