The United States earned a silver medal in the women's team competition at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics. Three years later, they are hoping to improve to gold in Paris.
Simone Biles is leading Team USA into the 2024 Summer Olympics as the oldest American female gymnast since 1952. The 27-year-old is widely regarded as the best gymnast of all time but is hoping to bounce back in Paris after a case of the "twisties" hamstrung her in Tokyo.
Biles is Team USA's leader, but she'll be joined on the five-woman roster by three of her 2021 Olympic teammates — reigning all-around gold medalist Suni Lee, reigning floor exercise gold medalist Jade Carey and team silver medalist Jordan Chiles. Hezly Rivera — a talented 16-year-old — will be the final piece to what should be a talented and intriguing team.
Team USA figures to be one of the top contenders in women's gymnastics and could eye a gold-medal sweep if all goes well. That said, they will face stiff competition from other top gymnasts like Brazil's Rebeca Andrade; and as we learned in Tokyo, even the best in the world aren't immune to the pitfalls associated with the challenging sport.
Here's what to know about women's gymnastics at the 2024 Paris Olympics as Biles and Team USA look to dominate.
