Excitement Builds for Women’s Gymnastics at the Paris Olympics
The first full day of action at the Paris Olympics is officially here, and fans are buzzing with excitement as numerous events get underway. American gymnasts are ready to showcase their skills, and one athlete everyone’s been eagerly anticipating is Simone Biles.
Alongside Biles, the women’s gymnastics team includes talented athletes like Suni Lee, Jordan Chiles, Jade Carrey, and Hezley Rivera. Biles, who is married to a player from the Chicago Bears, is considered one of the greatest gymnasts of all time, making her return to the Olympic stage highly anticipated.
A random draw placed the women’s team in subdivision two for the qualification round, with the men’s team in subdivision one. After the qualification rounds, the top teams will compete in the team finals, and the best athletes will battle it out in the all-around and individual event finals.
