The Fierce Five: Who's planning for Rio and Who is Not?

So, its 2014, its Sochi, the winter games, but for all those people who hate the winter games, and are hooked on gymnastics, its the halfway point between the Summer Games, the ones that actually matter! Anyway, two years ago, the Fierce Five won gold, and now, at the halfway point between the great 2012, and Rio 2016, we got to wonder: Are any of the Fierce Five planning for Rio? I would love to see them in Rio, winning team gold yet again, but who wants to return and who doesn't?

Jordyn Wieber: She wants to get into the All Around Finals.
Aly Raisman: Aly is an amazing gymnast, making the All-Around in 2012, finishing in 4th, losing to Mustafina, Dang It! But thats why she is coming back to Rio, to defend her floor gold and beam bronze, and to crack into the AA medals.
Gabrielle Douglas: She won the gold medal in London, she doesn't need to train anymore! All her dreams came true!
Kyla Ross: Like her best friend, McKayla Maroney, Kyla wants to return for the 2016 Games. She did contribute to team USA's gold medal finish. But, she did not make the All-Around or any other event, so that what she hopes to do in Rio.
McKayla Maroney: Maroney is back, we know that, she never quit. Mostly because she wanted to go to Rio to get redemption. She fell on her second vault, costing her the vault gold, and starting the world-wide-known look as "McKayla Maroney Not Impressed" But, in 2016 Mac wants to be impressed she wants that gold medal.
