U.S. women’s gymnastics wins gold at Paris Olympics team final

The GIST: Three years after devastation at the Tokyo Olympics, U.S. women’s gymnastics completed their “Redemption Tour” yesterday, winning gold in the team final in front of a star-studded crowd. Found out, indeed.

Biles is now the most decorated American Olympic gymnast of all time: The GOAT further cemented her reputation as the greatest gymnast ever, securing a record-setting eighth Olympic medal while dominating in all four events — vault, balance beam, uneven bars, and floor.

• Biles recorded the highest U.S. scores on both the vault and floor, catapulting Team USA to a massive first-place finish ahead of Italy (silver) and Brazil (bronze).

• Biles now has five Olympic golds, with another four chances to medal during upcoming individual competitions. We are not worthy.

A true team effort: Biles’ teammates Jordan Chiles (a friend of The GIST), Sunisa Lee, and Jade Carey all featured on that silver medal Tokyo squad and were eager to show the world they deserved to stand on top of the podium in Paris.

• All three excelled — Carey threw down on the vault, Lee shined on the uneven bars and balance beam (even outscoring Biles on both), and Chiles brought the heat in all four events, most notably delivering a powerful floor routine.

What’s next: Both Biles and Lee qualified for Thursday’s individual all-around final, making it the first time two Olympic all-around champs (Biles in 2016 and Lee in 2021) will go head-to-head for the gold. How lucky are we?
