Olympic women's gymnastics results: Simone Biles leads USA to gold medal in dominant team competition rout

Team USA enjoyed a wire-to-wire win in the team competition that began with the team showing dominance on the vault. Jordan Chiles, Jade Carey, and Simone Biles all earned marks of 14.400 or better on the apparatus which gave them a first-rotation lead.

The Americans never squandered it, as they performed well in each event and winning the gold medal by a massive, 5.802-point margin over Italy.

The victory made Biles the most decorated the USA's most decorated female gymnast in Olympics history with eight total medals (five gold). She previously shared that honor with Shannon Miller.

Biles also completed her self-proclaimed "redemption tour" by avenging the United States' silver-medal finish at the Tokyo Olympics, an event she was unable to finish due to a case of the twisties.

Biles wasn't the only one who accomplished a goal in the women's gymnastics team competition. Italy, the silver medal winner, earned its first Olympic medal since 1928 with its strong performance across the four events.

Meanwhile, Brazil won its first-ever team competition medal, surviving some falls early in the competition — including one by Flavia Saraiva in warm-ups that left her with a cut above her right eye — to earn bronze by 0.234 points over Great Britain.

Sporting News tracked the results from the women's gymnastics team finals at the 2024 Olympics. Below is a look at the full scores and highlights from the competition.

Olympics gymnastics live results, highlights from women's team finals

(All times Eastern.)

2:22 p.m. — Team USA takes home the gold medal in the women's gymnastics competition after a wire-to-wire win. Italy earns the silver after a strong, well-rounded showing while Brazil earned its first-ever team medal in gymnastics despite suffering some falls early in the competition.

Below are the final scores for the women's gymnastics team competition:

2:21 p.m. — The high-flying Biles landed some moves on the floor that only she could. She had a couple of mistakes, including stepping out of bounds with one foot, but it doesn't matter. She did more than enough to earn USA the gold once again.

2:18 p.m. — Angela Andreoli was the final Italian gymnast to be in action on the floor exercises. She put together a mistake-free routine to earn an excellent 13.833. That means Biles needs just a 8.864 to clinch the gold.

2:14 p.m. — It's a 13.966 for Chiles. Just short of a 14, but better than her qualifying score. It's just about a forgone conclusion that the USA will win gold once Simone Biles performs her routine.

2:11 p.m. — Like Lee, Jordan Chiles looks electric on the floor. She lets out a triumphant cheer after exiting the mat, surely on her way to another great score.

2:06 p.m. — Brazil finishes it off with a great-looking Cheng vault from Rebeca Andrade. Will it score high enough to get Brazil its first-ever Olympic team medal in gymnastics? Or will Beckie Downie's strong performance on the balance beam help Great Britain earn a surprising bronze medal?

2:04 p.m. — Flavia Saraiva lands a solid-looking vault for Brazil, but she had a big step during her landing. With Georgia-Mae Fenton executing a solid beam routine for Great Britain, Brazil's margins are getting slimmer and slimmer.

2:02 p.m. — Lee gets a 13.533 for her floor routine. That adds about one more point to USA's lead over Italy.

1:59 p.m. — Suni Lee nails her floor routine. She performed her maneuvers to the tune of violinist Lindsey Sterling and stuck almost all of her landings. The near-perfect routine should add to Team USA's advantage and allow Chiles and Biles some breathing room ahead of their routines.

1:57 p.m. — Jade Barbosa was first to go for Brazil on the vault. She didn't have a clean landing on hers, taking a big step and earning a 13.366. That's not bad, but Brazil would have liked more as it tries to claw its way toward a bronze medal.

1:55 p.m. — Italy is first to go in the floor exercises. Manila Esposito had a gorgeous routine in the works, but she had one mistake, placing her hands on the floor and potentially landing her foot out of bounds. Suni Lee will look to outdo her.

1:51 p.m. — Once again, Biles, Chiles and Lee will be the participants in Team USA's final rotation. Lee will kick things off with Biles going second. Then, it will be on Biles to close things out.

For those wondering, Jade Carey — the reigning Olympic gold medalist on the floor — struggled on the floor in qualifying because she wasn't feeling well. That's why she isn't participating in this event.

1:47 p.m. — Team USA's lead has ballooned to 3.602 points after three rotations, even after Chiles' fall on the beam.

Below is a full look at the standings:

Team USA is well-positioned to earn gold, but the competition beyond them should be interesting. Italy has the inside track for a silver medal if they do well on the floor exercises.

But the bronze medal? That's up for grabs. Brazil may be able to improve from sixth place to third if they perform well on the vault, the highest-scoring apparatus in the competition.

So, even with the lack of drama atop the leaderboard, there is still plenty left to play out in the women's team competition.

1:42 p.m. — It's a 14.366 for Biles. Team USA will be happy to take that as they prepare for their final rotation: the floor exercises.

1:39 p.m. — Biles looks very good on the beam. She had one wobble where she nearly fell, but she managed to catch herself with her toes and stay on the beam. She should earn a quality mark for her performance and give the United States a rock-solid lead ahead of the final rotation.

1:36 p.m. — Alice D'Amato scores a 13.933 on the beam. That allows the United States to extend its lead over Italy by just under 0.7 points.

Next up will be Simone Biles.

1:33 p.m. — It's a 14.600 for Suni Lee. That should help Team USA regain some points it may have lost during the first part of the third rotation.

1:31 p.m. — The Americans needed a bounce-back performance after Chiles' fall. They got it from Suni Lee, who was nearly flawless on the beam, executing all of her flips and sticking the landing at the end.

That should earn her a terrific score — perhaps the best among those competing in the team competition.

1:28 p.m. — Italy gets a nice showing from Manila Esposito on the beam. She racks up a 13.966, allowing Italy to gain back 1.233 points on the USA through one competitor on the third rotation.

Team USA's lead now sits at 1.869 points.

1:26 p.m. — Chiles cards a 12.733 on the beam, a lower mark than what she totaled in qualifying. That could allow Italy and China to slightly close the gap between themselves and the United States.

1:23 p.m. — Jordan Chiles makes her first mistake of the day. She falls while getting onto the balance beam, which will result in a one-point deduction. The rest of her routine was relatively mistake-free, save for a small wobble, so she didn't compound the error.

That shouldn't hurt the USA too much given their 3.1-point lead. 

1:21 p.m. — Next up, the U.S. women will be on the balance beam. Once again, Jordan Chiles will lead off for the team, with Suni Lee and Simone Biles rounding out the rotation.

1:19 p.m. — Through two rotations, the USA has a big lead on its competition, as second-place Italy is a whopping 3.102 points behind them.

Below is a full look at the standings for the event:

Italy looks like the only potential threat to Team USA at present, thanks to falls by China and Brazil on their first two apparatuses. All the United States has to do is avoid mistakes, and they should be poised to earn gold.

1:17 p.m. — Brazil's Rebeca Andrade — who is viewed as Simone Biles' biggest all-around competition threat — just performed a great-looking balance beam routne. She had a little wobble, but she notched a 14.133 on the apparatus.

Brazil has endured some struggles, but Andrade's performance is keeping them within striking distance of the podium.

1:12 p.m. — Biles and Lee both posted strong scores on the bars, with Biles logging a 14.400 and Lee earning a 14.566 even despite her brushing off the ground. That's another excellent rotation for Team USA.

1:09 p.m. — Suni Lee does well on her uneven bars routine. She had a small mistake — she caught the smaller bar sideways and hit her feet on the ground — in the middle which will cost her a bit in both her D and E scores (the brush with the ground will be a 0.5-point deduction).

Still, the rest of the routine was clean enough that it should keep Team USA ahead through two rotations.

1:07 p.m. — Brazil's Flavia Saraiva continues to put together a solid showing. She had a couple of wobbles on the balance beam, but she didn't fall, racking up a 13.433. That's another solid score despite her fall and cut to the forehead in warm-ups.

1:03 p.m. — Biles does exactly what she needs to on the bars. She executes her routine quickly and to near perfection, getting plenty of air on each of her moves.

Like her vault, it wasn't her most difficult routine, but her high-end execution makes it a high-floor move for this type of team competition.

1:01 p.m. — Italy's Alice D'Amato puts together a nice uneven bars routine as well. She executed a brilliant pirouette just before sticking her dismount and landing. That result coupled with Brazil and China's struggles on the beam could open a path for Italy, the reigning European champions, to get the silver medal.

1 p.m. — It's a 14.366 for Chiles, an improvement of 0.1 points over her qualifying score. Nicely done. 

12:57 p.m. — Jordan Chiles is looking good! She starts the USA on the uneven bars with a slick routine. She stuck the landing on the dismount and kept her feet glued together for most of the routine.

This should be another strong score for the United States.

12:54 p.m. — Brazil's podium chances take a hit, as Julia Soares falls off the beam. The country was never likely to push the USA for gold, but they were expected to make a podium push. That fall could prove critical in the battle for bronze and silver.

12:52 p.m. — It's important to note that the uneven bars is Simone Biles' weakest event. She still was among the top-10 qualifiers in the event, but even so, the USA may need Lee to pick up the slack a bit here, as this is her best event.

Lee had an uncomfortable-looking fall in warmups, but she sprung right back up after it.

12:49 p.m. — Next up for Team USA will be the uneven bars. Chiles, Biles and Suni Lee will participate on the apparatus in that order; that trio is scheduled to represent the USA in the final three events, barring an injury.

12:47 p.m. — Unsurprisingly, the USA is in the lead after one rotation. Their score on the vault was a bit lower than their performance in qualifying, but that's largely because Biles opted not to do her Yurchenko double pike, which brought the overall difficulty score down.

Below is a look at the scoreboard after one rotation: 

12:39 p.m. — In non-USA gymnastics news, Brazil's Flavia Saraiva fell during warmups on the bars and suffered a cut over her eye. She still managed to compete, with a band-aid above her right eye, and posted a solid 13.666 on the uneven bars.

12:36 p.m. — Biles just edges Carey, earning a 14.900 on her vault with a 9.300 execution score. Team USA is off to an ideal start in the competition.

12:34 p.m. — And now, here's Biles. She performs the same vault as Carey with near-identical form and execution. She should score similarly — or better than — Carey to put the USA in front after one rotation.

Just GOAT things. 🐐

12:30 p.m. — Carey gets a 14.800 on her vault, with a sterling 9.200 execution score. That's impressive considering she had been battling an illness during qualifying and the lead-up to it.

Carey's vault will be her lone event of the day, too, so she did her job for Team USA.

12:28 p.m. — Jade Carey goes next on the vault. She nails her lone event of the day, landing smoothly with the same vault Biles is poised to perform.

Like Chiles, Carey had a hop at the end of her vault, but it wasn't much. That should allow her to post a strong score and give Team USA an early lead.

12:26 p.m. — Chiles' score is in. She gets a 14.400, a very strong start for Team USA on what should be its highest-scoring apparatus.

12:24 p.m. — And, we're off. Jordan Chiles starts with a clean-looking vault. She had a sizeable hop at the end, but she should still score well on the maneuver.

12:20 p.m. — Big news from NBC color commentator Laurie Hernandez: Biles won't be doing her Yurchenko double pike in the team competition. That likely means she is saving her most difficult vault for the individual competition.

12:19 p.m. — The USA will start on the vault to begin the competition. Jordan Chiles, Jade Carey and Simone Biles will be the three participants on that apparatus, in order.

12:17 p.m. — Team USA is officially introduced to the crowd. Four of the five competitors came out in track suits while Jade Carey came out sporting her competition leotard.

The quintet looks ready to go.

12:15 p.m. — The competition should get underway in just a few moments. Simone Biles offered a message of gratitude to her fans on social media before the meet began.

Noon — In qualifying, Team USA scored 172.296 points while second-place finisher Italy logged a score of 166.861. The difference of 5.435 points between USA and Italy was greater than the gap between Italy and sixth-place finisher Canada (161.563).

What does that mean? If all goes well for the USA, they should be able to land the gold medal with ease.

11:45 a.m. — In case you're wondering, Jonathan Owens — a.k.a. Simone Biles' husband — is in the house for the gymnastics team final. He was granted an absence from Bears training camp to attend his wife's events in Paris.

10:50 a.m. — One non-American gymnast to watch Tuesday: Brazil's Rebeca Andrade. She is the reigning gold medalist on the vault and may debut a triple-twisting Yurchenko at the Olympics. She qualified second place all-around, so she could help turn Brazil into one of Team USA's top competitors.

10:30 a.m. — Hezly Rivera is the fifth member of the USA's gymnastics team, but she isn't expected to participate on any apparatus after qualifying fourth among her teammates on the bars and beam. Only three gymnasts can participate in each team final event.

10 a.m. — USA Gymnastics announced its lineup for Tuesday's action just over 24 hours before the event. Biles is set to headline every event but the uneven bars, which are Lee's specialty.
