NEW YORK -- How do you follow winning Olympic gold at the Rio Olympics? How about a chance to see Hamilton on Broadway?The Tony Award-winning smash musical on Tuesday night welcomed the U.S. womens gymnastics team -- Simone Biles, Aly Raisman, Gabby Douglas, Madison Kocian and Laurie Hernandez -- who gave the show a standing ovation and greeted the cast onstage afterward at the Richard Rodgers Theatre.The gymnasts, dressed in skirts and rompers, sat together in Row G to take in Lin-Manuel Mirandas hip-hop-flavored biography about the first U.S. treasury secretary, a night that had athletic gold meeting theatrical gold.I thought you were amazing, Raisman told Tony Award-nominee Brandon Victor Dixon, who just happened to be making his debut appearance replacing Tony Award-winner Leslie Odom Jr. as Aaron Burr.Gymnastics is my favorite Olympic sport, hands-down.

While they were in Rio, Biles coach would blast the Hamilton cast album for the athletes. It was just meant to be, Faehn said.The cast and crew took turns taking photos with the athletes after the show and Renee Elise Goldsberry, who plays Angelica Schuyler, brought her young daughter to meet the so-called Final Five. Goldsberry and her fellow Schuyler sisters -- Lexi Lawson and Jasmine Cephas Jones -- then posed for a photo with the five athletes, their hands in the air as they riffed off a lyric in the show by shouting Work!The show has been celebrated for putting African-American, Asian and Latinos at the center of Americas birth and the U.S. Olympic team is a mix of races and ethnicities -- black, white, Latina, Jewish.Theyre just like tiny versions of us, said Okieriete Onaodowan, who plays both Hercules Mulligan and James Madison. Its amazing but its also remarkable what theyre doing, just to be able to perform and not choke under that pressure. At a young age, to be able to perform that way and keep your cool? Im totally impressed.The night before, the Broadway cast welcomed U.S. swimmer Maya DiRado, who won two golds, a silver and bronze at Rio. She brought both of her gold medals to the show to share with the cast.

St George Illawarra NRL coach Paul McGregor has failed to guarantee under-fire playmaker Benji Marshalls future at the club.Off-contract at the end of this season and being battered from pillar to post after a string of poor performances, the 31-year-olds career is under a dark cloud.He is reported to have had a run-in with McGregor after being singled out this week in a video session - reports that have been hosed down by both parties.McGregor said while he had no plans to drop the ex-New Zealand Test playmaker to reserve grade, he stopped short of guaranteeing he would play out of Wollongong in 2017.Hed feel some frustration and some pressure because he is off-contract and he is a legend of the game. That hurts, McGregor said on Thursday.But as a club coach, Ive got to look at all (players) available for the future and whats out there and do the right thing by the club.The Dragons have made big plays for Luke Keary and Corey Norman as replacements for Marshall next season - missing out on both - and have been linked with out-of-favour Sydney Roosters playmaker Jackson Hastings.The Dragons are two wins outside the eight with four rounds remainiing.dddddddddddd McGregor, his players and senior management are under the microscope with the side staring down the barrel of six-straight losses going into Saturdays local derby with Cronulla.The relationship between McGregor and Marshall came into question this week when they were said to have been involved in a heated war of words however the coach downplayed the incident.Fullback Josh Dugan on Wednesday jumped to the defence of the hard-nosed coach, with McGregor refusing to change his tell-it-like-it-is style, even if he risked ruffling some feathers.Im not perfect but Im real, McGregor said.Man management is a big thing in sport.Last year, everybody is happy and, when youve got players not playing to their full potential, which they did last year, a coachs job is to create an environment to do that.And when that environment is not a winning environment, you get challenged in your certain circumstances and this is just one of those circumstances because thats the sort of person I am - thats the way I do things.
