Led by the G.O.A.T. Simone Biles, Team USA’s women’s gymnastics team secured the gold medal at the on Tuesday. The U.S. dominated the competition, with no nation challenging their winning score.
It was a bit of redemption for the U.S., who came away with a relatively disappointing silver in the last games in Tokyo. This time it was all gold, all the way — the result was never really in doubt, especially from the games due to the ongoing war in Ukraine.
How women’s gymnastics is scored at the Olympics, and how Simone Biles pushes those boundaries
It was on top after having to withdraw from the prior Olympics due to health issues and a case of the “twisties,” which is basically when a gymnast encounters a mental block. So, in more ways than one, it was a redemptive win. The internet was ablaze with celebrations and reactions to the big win for the U.S.
It was a big day for Team USA, and they look to add to their gold medal count during the women’s all-around final, which will take place on Thursday.
