It's official! Team USA just won gold in the team event at the Paris 2024 Olympics.
After dominating at the Olympic gymnastics qualifying round, Simone Biles and the U.S. women's gymnastics team struck again with standout routines during the team final. Together, they earned a total score of 171.296, putting them 5.802 points ahead of Italy, who landed in second place. Meanwhile, Brazil took home the bronze, earning their first-ever Olympic team medal.
During the qualifying round, Biles suffered a minor calf injury, but it didn't stop her from soaring ahead of the competition at the finals. In case you missed it, the 27-year-old was the final gymnast to complete the fourth and final rotation. To help the team reclaim the gold, she only needed to register a single-figure score.
