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.

Omg what are they supposed to wear long John’s , Chasity belt ? It’s a leotard? It is almost the same as a speedo bathing suit for a woman. The men’s swim team wear little speedo that women have been drooling over for years! The ones who are sexualizing the outfits are the ones who are bringing it up. Unless you are a gymnasts try doing their routines in something other than what they are wearing!

Yes exactly, I don't know why so many people are getting so defensive about this comment. It's well documented that many gymnasts are uncomfortable having to compete in what amounts to a bathing suit and feel very exposed especially when they have their period. That many young gymnasts give up the sport because they feel too exposed and the general criticism that women are expected to play their sports in skimpy uniforms so men will take more of an interest and then they will get better sponsorship deals, ie they can't just compete but have to sexualise their sport to gain a bigger audience which is an affront to their talent, skill, discipline and dignity. It's not like male gymnasts have to wear tight tank tops and speeds when they compete to give women spectators "something worth watching." Maybe the commentator until being a prude but is actually supporting female athletes.

THEIR (not THEY'RE) outfits are DEFINITELY not too revealing! What do they show exactly? Too much arms & legs !! I see no boobs or butts there. Don't head to the beach anytime soon, Grandma Purich. You'll see A LOT more! GO TEAM USA!!!

The person who said the leotards are to revealing has OBVIOUSLY never run track or done gymnastics. They NEED to be form fitting and aerodynamic. The entire hip joint area need to be able to move freely. What did they expect shorts? SMH

What bothers me and makes me say that these outfits are not suitable is the number of times I see them put their panties back in place during sports events. And that an athlete feels good about it doesn’t mean they all really feel the same, the pressure to be accepted is even stronger in the sports world.

I agree. I don't understand why the young ladies of today's world don't leave anything to the imagination. It is still okay to put some clothes on. I mean really!!!!!

In no way shape or form are their uniforms "revealing ". They are covered. And I'm sure if they felt that they were indecend that they wouldn't wear them. They are covered more than the average woman on the beach. It's just tactics to put them down and start drama. Instead let's support the women s team and pray everything and everyone is safe and does well. Go, U.S A women's gymnastics team🤸‍♀️🩱🎉🥇🏆🏅

I agree that the bottom part of “their” uniform is unnecessarily revealing. More importantly, I wonder how I would feel if, in addition to worrying about technique and form while competing, I also had to constantly worry about pulling the seat of my uniform out of my crotch or booty??? The women on the gymnastics team are lovely with exquisite, fit bodies. The uniform does nothing to enhance that; in fact, it may distract… Just my opinion! I wish them all the luck in the world.
