Team USA is back on top.
On Tuesday, the five-woman U.S. gymnastics team had a dominant performance, scoring 171.296 to take the team final win. With Simone Biles at the helm, they finished the competition nearly six points ahead of Italy despite counting a beam fall.
It was the result we expected from a team that looks very similar to the one that took silver in Tokyo behind Team Russia. Three members of this squad—Biles, Sunisa Lee and Jordan Chiles—were on the team in 2021, and Jade Carey had competed there as an individual. Sixteen-year-old Hezly Rivera rounded out the team here, though she didn't make lineups for this final, instead acting as an alternate.
