Looks like we should’ve trained as gymnasts when we were younger, because the gold-winning Team USA just lived one of our dreams: they met Kate Middleton.

E! Online reports that, while watching McKayla Maroney compete in the individual vault, the other four girls that make up the Fab Five were approached by Duchess Catherine herself.

Here are some tweets the team sent out after Kate stood up from her seat to personally congratulate them:

How very gracious of Kate to compliment them! But who could resist? Those Swarovski-encrusted numbers are fabulous. Needless to say, we’re jealous.
