    • Simone Biles. Enjoy her while you can. There’s simply no one likes Biles — possibly ever. So-called “four-year fans” will remember her stunning performance at the Rio Games, where she won four gold medals and a bronze.
    • Jade Carey. When a pathway opened for gymnasts to qualify for the Tokyo Games individually, and by name, Carey took it. All she had to do was win one of the apparatuses across the world cup circuit.
    • Jordan Chiles. All Chiles does is hit routines. At least in 2021. The former junior standout arrived at the senior level in 2017 with high expectations, even finishing U.S. runner-up that year.
    • Sunisa Lee. Lee’s life turned upside down right as her elite gymnastics career was taking off. Just days before heading to her first senior U.S. championships in 2019, Lee’s dad, John, became partially paralyzed after falling from a ladder.
  3. Jul 30, 2024 · Eighty percent of the U.S. women’s Olympic gymnastics team competing in Paris are women of color, making it the most racially diverse in the team’s history.

    Biles is the reigning Olympic champion, and she hasn’t lost an all-around competition—which involves competing on all four events of bars, beam, vault and floor—since 2013. She’s coming to Tokyo with new, daring skills that show she is testing the very limits of what is humanly possible when it comes to twisting and flipping in the air. Watch for h...

    Lee is a two-time national silver medalist in the all-around and a master on the uneven bars. Her routine on that apparatus is likely the most difficult that any gymnast is performing in the world now, and could earn her a gold in that event, not to mention give the U.S. a point advantage in the team competition.

    Biles’ training mate at World Champions Centre in Texas, Chiles assured her spot on the team with consistent programs during the U.S. National Championships and Olympic Trials in June. Unlike Biles and Lee, who were guaranteed spots on the team as the top two scorers during Trials, Chiles was named to the team by a USA Gymnastics committee. It was ...

    A member of the 2018 and 2019 World Championship teams, McCallum is a consistent competitor who should help the U.S. on beam, though she is coming back from injuries over the last year. In January, she broke her hand while training on the beam, and needed a plate and seven screws to stabilize the bones. Tom Forster, high performance and team coordi...

A floor and vault star, Skinner will compete in the individual events as one of the two newly...

    Carey had already secured one of the new spots on the Olympic team, in the individual events, based on her performance in a new FIG series called Apparatus World Cup that began three years ago. Under this new qualifying system, Carey needed to amass enough points to earn an invitation to the Olympic team, which she did. The USAG then decided to let...

  5. Jun 28, 2021 · Biles, Lee lead 6-woman U.S. Olympic Gymnastics Team. The United States dominates gymnastics on the global stage, and this year’s roster looks like another one to remember.
