Hey Olympics committee, is it too late for these two to join the team?

As Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos enjoyed a weekend getaway, the Hollywood couple took time to savor the great outdoors with some quality pool time.

Instead of simply dipping their feet into the shallow end or relaxing on a giant inflatable swan, the pair decided to get physical with an innocent game of wrestling.

"Synchronized wrestling is going to be the hottest sport at this years Olympics," Kelly joked on Instagram as video captured the duo having some fun. "Participants must be over 45 and have protective eyewear. #rio here we come."

With the Rio games just 11 days away, Kelly and Mark likely have a better chance of being spectators than competitors during this year's competitions.

But we'd be lying if the Instagram didn't give us another reason to be excited for the weeks ahead.

From Gabby Douglas in gymnastics to Michael Phelps in swimming, plenty of returning (and new) faces are set to represent Team USA in Rio.

Back home in New York City, meanwhile, the guessing game continues as to who will fill Michael Strahan's role on LIVE! Anderson Cooper, Rob Lowe, Fred Savage and Jeff Gordon are just some of the names that continue to float around. Who will come out on top? Stay tuned!

The 2016 Summer Olympics Opening Ceremonies air Friday, August 5 on NBC.
