Olympics 2024: Meet the U.S. Women’s Gymnastics Team Competing in Paris… Details
Before the 2024 Olympics, learn about the U.S. women’s gymnastics team: Simone Biles, Suni Lee, Jordan Chiles, Jade Carey and Hezly Rivera.
Say bonjour to the 2024 U.S. Women’s Olympic Team heading to Paris.
Although, you’ve likely heard their names before. Four out of the five members on the Women’s Artistic team—Simone Biles, Jade Carey, Jordan Chiles and Suni Lee—competed at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.
But don’t expect these Games to feel like a sequel—more of a reboot.
“Déjà vu but also I feel like a little bit like a redemption tour,” Biles told Today’s Hoda Kotb in an interview shared July 1. “In Tokyo, we all didn’t have our best performances. So we’re excited to go out there and kill it.”
In Biles’ case, she experienced the “twisties,” which she’s described as a disconnect between her body and mind, and withdrew from the event and several others. Meanwhile, Chiles—who filled in for Biles during the final—slipped on the floor exercise, and Carey had an issue with her footwork as she ran on the runway for the vault.
So, yes, they’re ready for another chance.
“This means everything to me,” Carey noted to the outlet. “I think, like they’ve been saying, we all have some sort of redemption that we want. So it’s just incredible to be sitting here today.”
