The 2016 Summer Olympics are well underway, and so far, a number of celebrities have been quite vocal about their support for Team U.S.A.

Some notable names, like Matthew McConaughey, have even made the trek down to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in order to witness the games.

Meanwhile, “Saturday Night Live” star Leslie Jones — whose persistent live-tweeting of the games grabbed headlines this week — is reportedly Rio-bound and expected to give commentary on NBC’s broadcast of the events. 

Justin Timberlake, Kim Kardashian, and Zac Efron are among the others who have chimed in on social media.

Read on to see how celebrities have reacted to the 2016 Summer Olympics. 

In Rio, Matthew McConaughey watched the U.S. rugby team compete.

Then, in typical McConaughey fashion, he lounged at Day 3′s swimming events.

Justin Timberlake was one of the many celebrities in awe of the two gold medal wins by Michael Phelps, the most decorated Olympian of all time.

This is getting ridiculous! Wow, @MichaelPhelps JUST WOW. #USA

Chance the Rapper took a moment to congratulate Phelps, Connor Dwyer, and himself for the swimming team’s success.
