Five full days of competition are officially in the books at the 2024 Paris Olympics, with a veteran Team USA women's gymnastics squad taking home a gold medal…
There are still plenty of events featuring Simone Biles and members of the U.S. squad to come -- and a historic moment left to unfoldWhile Simone Biles, Suni Lee and Team USA have already added on to an incredible resume, the highlights from Paris are far from over.and a historic moment left to unfold.WATCH: Team USA's gymnastics routines that clinched gold at the women's all-around final
Olympic gymnastics has a “two-per-country” rule, which allows only two gymnasts from each country to compete in each final.This means even if several of Team USA’s athletes put up successful scores, only the two highest-scoring gymnasts from the team can compete in each event.Biles, 2016 all-around gold medalist and Lee, 2020 all-around gold medalist, qualified to compete in the individual all-around final.
Biles and Carey both qualified for the vault final. Biles won the event at the 2016 Rio Games but pulled out of the final at the 2020 Tokyo Games after getting"the twisties" and did not get a chance to defend her title. Carey did compete in the 2020 Tokyo vault final, but missed the podium with two disappointing routines.
Biles and Lee will find themselves in the same competition yet again in the balance beam final. The two have been trading off highest scoring beam routines throughout the 2024 season- and this competition is bound to be a nail-biter. Biles took home the bronze medal on the balance beam in both 2016 and 2020. Lee, on the other hand, has not yet medaled in an Olympic balance beam final.
