The team had a golden run in 2012 and 2016 for the women’s individual all-around, when they were able to consistently take home the highest prize of those years’ Olympics.

Last year, the team came up in second place, winning only the silver medal, which has fueled the girls’ ambition of winning gold once again.

Despite the top-talent on board, the competition is as fierce as ever, with the teams from Brazil and China being the greatest threats to Simone’s ambitions, according to analysts.

Brazil, in particular, claimed silver at last year’s Olympics. Their top athlete, Rebeca Andrade, is expected to fight Biles for the gold medal. China, on the other hand, is placing their bets on Qiu Qiyuan, the 2023 Asian Championships champion.

It doesn't appear that the muppet who said "they're" instead of "their" was wishing them the best.

Right first that a pretty standard leotard and I’ve seen dresses more revealing. Who ever had that opinion probably couldn’t do so much as walk a balance beam less alone accomplish what these young ladies have accomplished, so does their opinion even matter? I think not.
