The 2024 Paris Olympics kicked off on Friday, July 26, with a spectacular opening ceremony. But some athletes, including Simone Biles, didn’t take part in the celebration in order to be game-day ready. And on Sunday, when the women’s gymnastics qualifying round was held, Biles and the rest of Team USA did not disappoint.

Today, they’re heading into the team finals. Here’s what to know about the highly anticipated event and how to tune in to the show.

Who’s on the Paris Olympics team

Team USA has an impressive roster that’s made up of Simone Biles, Suni Lee, Jade Carey, Jordan Chiles, and Hezly Rivera. Everyone except 16-year-old Hezley competed in the Tokyo Olympics, where the team took home the silver medal.

Biles is a pioneer in the sport, continuously pushing the boundaries of what is possible. The nine-time victor of the USA Gymnastics National Championships has already earned seven Olympic medals, and is gunning for more. And this year, she’s especially motivated after pulling out of the competition in Tokyo for mental health reasons. She took two years off to recover, but don’t let that fool you into thinking she isn’t ready for Paris.

Lee took home gold in Tokyo as the reigning Olympic individual all-around champion—and let’s not forget her three world medals. She has also had to overcome health issues. In 2023, she was diagnosed with two kinds of kidney disease. (She has chosen not to disclose specifics about the types.) Fans do know that she was forced to drop out of Auburn University and didn’t compete for a year. She is now in remission and determined to defend her title.

Carey is from Phoenix, and has seven world medals to her name. She also took home gold in Tokyo in the floor exercise. Chiles hails from Vancouver, Washington. Her best events are the floor exercise and the vault. Rookie Rivera, from New Jersey, is the youngest member of the entire U.S. Olympic delegation—not just in gymnastics.

An Olympics redemption tour

Biles, Lee, Carey, and Chiles have a chip on their shoulder coming into Paris. They want gold as a team this time around.

“This is definitely our redemption tour,” Biles told the media ahead of the Paris Games, summing up the team’s mentality. “I feel like we all have more to give, and our Tokyo performances weren’t the best. We weren’t under the best circumstances either. But I feel like we have a lot of weight on our shoulders to go out there and prove that we’re better athletes, we’re more mature, we’re smarter, we’re more consistent.”

Qualifying round results

On Sunday, Team USA experienced the highs and lows of competition, but ultimately came out on top. The women qualified for the team finals, besting the competition by a whopping five points.

Biles fought through a calf injury and additionally qualified for the individual all-around, vault, balance beam, and floor exercise competitions.

Lee and Chiles fought hard to get the second spot in the all-around finals because only two athletes from a country are allowed to compete. Lee’s aggregate score of 56.132 narrowly beat Chiles’s 56.065, by less than a tenth of a point. Lee will also compete in the finals for balance beam and uneven bars, while Chiles will take on the floor exercise.

Carey struggled on her floor routine, and will not move on to defend her gold medal. She did make it to the vault finals, and later revealed she has been sick and unable to keep food down.

How to watch the finals

The women’s team final will take place at 12:15 p.m. ET.
