Lynx Fans Greet Their Olympians At The Airport

Jon Fawkes

With a team-high four Olympians on the roster, the Minnesota Lynx made their presence felt in helping bring the USWNT their sixth straight gold medal.

Now Maya Moore, Sylvia Fowles, Lindsay Whalen and Seimone Augustus will have their eyes set on winning back-to-back championships for the first time in franchise history. Their three titles have come every other year (2011, 2013, 2015) but this year they will have even more continuity as 2015 WNBA Finals MVP Sylvia Fowles who only played 18 games with the Lynx last regular season has already played in 25 this year and has continued to help anchor their post defense and offense.

Sitting at just one half game back from the first place Los Angeles Sparks, the Lynx will look to build momentum and secure their first round bye in the Playoffs with just nine games remaining.

Fans in the Twin Cities were overjoyed to greet their four Olympians as they flew back from Rio. Check out the best social content from their arrival:
