Simone Biles Leads Historic U.S. Women's Gymnastics Team to Paris

The U.S. women's gymnastics team, led by Simone Biles, aims for redemption at the Paris Olympics. Joined by veterans like Sunisa Lee and newcomers like Hezly Rivera, Biles, now the most decorated female gymnast, continues her unparalleled journey. The oldest U.S. team ever, they hope to reclaim the top spot.

Simone Biles is eager for a chance to put the Tokyo Olympics firmly in her rearview mirror.

Three years after she memorably withdrew from multiple finals to protect her mental health, Biles headlines a U.S. women's gymnastics team filled with familiar faces aiming for redemption in Paris. Joining her are reigning Olympic champion Sunisa Lee, 2020 floor exercise champion Jade Carey, Olympic silver medalist Jordan Chiles, and 16-year-old newcomer Hezly Rivera.

Together, they hope to reclaim the Olympic podium spot they ceded to Russia in Japan. Biles, a four-time world beam champion, continues her journey as the most decorated female gymnast with 37 medals. The team's average age has increased due to changes in regulations, allowing more experienced athletes like Lee, Chiles, and Carey to compete without sacrificing endorsements.

Newcomer Rivera earned her place under pressure at the U.S. trials and looks forward to competing alongside her idols. The team will begin their quest at the Paris Olympics, with qualifying rounds starting on July 28 and team finals set for July 30.
