Simone Biles, Suni Lee, and the U.S. women's gymnastics team continued their "redemption tour" at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Team USA was a disappointing runner-up to Russia in 2021 during the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and has faced adversity on its way back to the Paris Games. However, a strong showing on Tuesday at the team finals after entering as the heavy favorites for gold helped the U.S. move back to the top of the sport.

Biles, Lee, Jordan Chiles, and Jade Carey (Hezly Rivera did not compete) competed in four rotations of the vault, uneven bars, balance beam and floor exercise during Tuesday's final against Brazil, Canada, China, Great Britain, Italy, Japan and Romania. In the team finals, the US held a commanding lead over its competition and cruised to a gold medal with strong performances all around.
USA has now won three of the last four golds in the team finals in the Olympics. The U.S. will have more action in the gymnastics competitions, including Thursday's women's all-around final. Biles competed in all the events despite a calf injury heading into the competition, and will be joined by Lee in the all-around final.
