USA Olympic gymnastics results: Updated scores, winners for women’s, men’s individual and team events
USA’s women’s gymnastics team is one of the most dominant in Olympic history, but the squad came up short of earning a third consecutive gold medal in team competition at the 2021 Tokyo Games.
Instead, the Russian Olympic Committee bested them by 1.067 points in a tightly contested battle.
Team USA wasn’t at full strength in 2021, as star Simone Biles dealt with a case of the “twisties” — the gymnastics version of the “yips” — which forced her out of action in several events.
The 27-year-old is back with the United States in 2024 and is looking to add more to a resume that many believe already makes her the greatest gymnast of all time.
Biles will be joined in her quest for gold by three of her 2021 teammates — Suni Lee, Jade Carey, and Jordan Chiles. Lee is the biggest name of the bunch, as she won the all-around gold in Tokyo with Biles out of action.
That said, Carey is also a gold medalist, as she bested her competition in the floor exercises, so there is plenty of talent on Team USA’s roster.
