"Poolside," is all the star wrote as she sat with other members of the crew as they prepared to cheer on the winning athletes.
The snap caused a major fan frenzy, with one enthusing: "Team USA's favorite cheerleader! Love you Hoda," and another added: "Team USA is the best."
Others wrote that it was "fun" and "awesome" that the 56-year-old was able to be in the audience for the games.

"I-FINKE-I-CAN!!! Bobby Finke comes from behind! TWICE! 2 GOLDS!" she beamed in her post's caption, and she looked equally as jubilant in the snap.
