Get ready, 'cause an incredibly talented group of gymnasts are repping Team USA at the 2024 Paris Olympics this summer. Four of our girls were on Team USA's roster at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, including Simone Biles, Suni Lee, Jordan Chiles, and Jade Carey. This year, newcomer Hezly Rivera joins the ranks as she makes her Olympic debut in the city of lights. Honestly? Love this journey for her!
While we had the Fierce Five of 2012 and the Final Five of 2016, this year's quintet doesn't have a catchy name just yet—but there definitely might be one on the horizon. Ready to meet the ~iconic~ athletes who will proudly be repping Team USA in Paris? Good, because we've got all the deets riiight here. 👇
Meet the U.S. Women's Gymnastics Team
Simone Biles
Age: 27
Hometown: Spring, TX
Okay, does Simone really need an intro? She's the most decorated gymnast of all time with 37 medals and this marks her third time competing at the Olympics. She even invented moves during her routines, which means some of the moves are officially named after her ("the Biles," if you will). Simone is also a nine-time U.S. all-around champion and was named TIME's 2021 Athlete of the Year, honored with the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2022, and won the 2024 ESPY Award for Best Comeback Athlete. TL;DR: Simone is a literal living legend.
Sunisa "Suni" Lee
Age: 21
Hometown: St. Paul, MN
Suni made her Olympic debut at the 2020 Tokyo Games when she was 18 years old—and she took home a gold medal with a last-minute floor routine when her teammate, Simone, stepped back to prioritize her mental health. In 2021, Suni was honored as one of Seventeen's Voices of the Year for bringing awareness and speaking out against anti-Asian hate. That same year, she competed on the 30th season of Dancing With the Stars and came in fifth place during the semifinals. She was also named the Women's Sports Foundation's Individual Sportswoman of the Year in 2022. Her range!
Jordan Chiles
Age: 23
Hometown: Vancouver, WA
This also marks Jordan's second time at the Olympics! Her relationship with her teammate Simone Biles goes way back as they trained together at the same gym in Texas. While Jordan's originally from Washington, she moved to Spring in 2019 to train at the World Champions Centre under coaches Laurent and Cecile Landi. Jordan is also a 2024 U.S. uneven bars silver medalist as well as a 2023 Pan American Games team champion, vault silver medalist, and all-around bronze medalist. Oh, and did we mention? Her makeup and nails are always flawless while she's on the floor. Could not be more obsessed if we tried!
Hezly Rivera
Age: 16
Hometown: Oradell, NJ
Hezly may be a fresh face on the U.S. women's gymnastics team, but something tells us that this won't be the last time we'll see her. Hezly is not only the youngest member on the gymnastics team but of all sports on Team USA. She's also the 2023 Junior National champion, a two-time World silver medalist, and now, she's making her debut at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Talk about a sweet 16!
Jade Carey
Age: 24
Hometown: Phoenix, AZ
Like her teammates, Jade has an impressive list of accolades. On top of competing on her gymnastics team at Oregon State University, she's a 2024 U.S. vault bronze medalist and a 2024 NCAA all-around floor exercise silver medalist. Not to mention, she's already competed in the 2020 Tokyo Games with Simone, Suni, and Jordan—so there's no doubt she'll smash her routines this time, too.
