Armour: U.S. women in position for gold medal sweep in Rio

SAN JOSE — The U.S. women are going to need an extra piece of luggage to get all their loot home from the Rio Olympics.

A steamer trunk, perhaps.

The Americans are sending their strongest gymnastics team yet to the Rio Olympics, one that is all but assured of winning the team and all-around titles and might very well sweep all four individual events, too.

“It’s definitely possible for Team USA to come home with gold on every event,” Madison Kocian said Monday.

That’s not arrogance or overconfidence. That’s just plain fact.

Consider the lineup.
