Olympic Gymnastics Artistic Women's Team Final Live

Simone Biles is leading the U.S. women into the gymnastics team final today at the 2024 Paris Olympics. The Americans are heavily favored to win gold after finishing runner-up to Russia in 2021.

Biles is taking a little extra caution when it comes to her left calf injury. She had tape starting around her ankle and running about midway up her left leg. She had tried to compete without tape during qualifying but had it quickly applied after tweaking the injury on Sunday.

Biles and the Americans will start on vault with Italy. The U.S. will have an opportunity to take an early lead thanks to a lineup that includes Biles doing her Yurchenko double pike vault, the hardest one currently being done in competition by a female gymnast.

PARIS – For the first time in 16 years, the U.S. men's gymnastics team has won an Olympic medal.

Buoyed by a resurgent performance from national champion Brody Malone, who competed in five of the six events, Team USA held off Great Britain and Ukraine to win bronze at the 2024 Olympics. Japan surged to gold in the final rotation, while China took silver.

"I can't even describe it," said Brett McClure, a silver medalist with the U.S. men in 2004 and now the team’s high-performance director. "I was rooting for them the whole way, every single routine just kept getting better and better and better."

It's the first time the American men have been on the Olympic podium since 2008, when Jonathan Horton led them to bronze. And ultimately, they finished closer to second-place China (1.3 points off) than they did fourth-place Great Britain (2.2 points).

Stephen Nedoroscik, a pommel horse specialist whose only contribution to the team score came on the very last routine of the night, helped clinch the bronze for Team USA with a solid performance. But every member of the team hit clutch routines, including Paul Juda and Asher Hong on vault and Frederick Richard on high bar.
