Olympic gold medalist and gymnastics analyst Laurie Hernandez joins TODAY to weigh in on Team USA’s women’s gymnastics team as they head into the finals at the Paris Olympics.
Simone Biles and Jordan Chiles competed in all four events, Suni Lee did bars, beam and floor, and Jade Carey competed on vault. Olympic newcomer Hezly Rivera didn't compete but still earned a medal.Even though Rivera was not tapped to perform any routines in the team final, she is still a part of the winning team and competed on bars and beam in the qualifying round which helped the team reach the finals to begin with.
The easiest skill in Biles' routine almost brought her off the 4-inch apparatus. On a side aerial, she landed on the tips of her toes and saved it like the all-star she is. That was the case for Lee, who fell off the bars in warmups, but stayed on the equipment when it counted. She is poised to debut an original skill in Paris, a Weiler 1.5 on bars, but did not do it today. Biles will have one more chance to do it in Thursday's all-around final.Another stellar routine from Biles, who won't compete in the individual bars final but who helped her team get one step closer to the gold with that performance.The crowd at the women's gymnastics team final is full of big stars.
Today, there was no evidence of the twisties and she performed a Cheng vault, one of the hardest of the night, earning a score of 14.900. It was a different vault than she attempted in Tokyo, an Amanar.In her only event of the night, Carey did a powerful Cheng vault, earning a 14.800. . “We weren’t under the best circumstances, either, but I feel like we have a lot of weight on our shoulders to go out there and prove that we’re better athletes.”
Jade Carey will only vault after a disastrous floor routine in qualifying. Hezly Rivera will be on stand by, ready to step in if anything goes wrong.Her coach, Cecile Landi, said after the competition that Biles “felt a little pain in her calf,” but she never considered pulling out. The"Go for Glory" design, which the U.S. women are expected to wear in today's final, aims to capture the “radiant moment when an athlete, draped in the flag, transcends to become a symbol of triumph.”When Dominique Dawes competed in the Olympic trials for the 1992 Barcelona Games, she was the first Black gymnast to ever qualify.
While neither is at the top of the pack, after an explosive showing in the team final yesterday, Richard could contend for a spot on the podium.will show what he's made of at the pommel horse final on Aug. 3. He placed second in the qualifiers and is expected to take home a medal for Team USA., 16, before she even got her driver's license. She was selected to join an Olympics team laden with medals and international star power, but being on a stacked squad like the U.S.
