We hope this will actually impress Gymnast McKayla Maroney!
The White House will host a reception -- honoring American Olympic athletes -- next month.
The announcement, which was released on Wednesday, came with very few details other than the President and the First Lady would open up the White House to the athletes on Sept. 14.
Of course, the President has already congratulated a few of this year's Olympic stars in less formal ways -- such as a phone call to the women's gymnastic team and a tweet to Michael Phelps. (But, who's counting?)
Some may be wondering why it took so long after the close of the games for the White House to put something together. The answer: the reception will also honor Paralympic athletes, whose games kicked off the same day as the announcement.
(Yeah, you feel like a jerk now, dontcha?). McKayla is not impressed with you.
