How does team qualifying work? Every gymnast, whether they’re competing as part of a team or as an individual, has to go through qualifying.

When is Olympic gymnastics team final Paris 2024?

The women's team final is on Tuesday, July 30, at 12:15 p.m. ET (6:15 p.m. Paris time).

What to know: The U.S. women will have to really screw up to not win the gold. The Russians have been their biggest competition over the last decade — Russia won gold in Tokyo and was runner-up to the Americans at the 2019 and 2018 world championships — and they won’t be in Paris.

How does scoring work in the team final? The scoring format for team finals requires countries to count the scores of all three gymnasts on each event, which can leave you vulnerable if someone falls or has a poor routine. But the U.S. has so much depth and difficulty that it would need to botch two, possibly three events, and another team would have to be perfect to bump the Americans from the top of the podium.

At the 2023 world championships , the U.S. women lost Josc Roberson to an ankle injury during warmups, lowering their scoring potential by 1.4 points, and had to count a fall on balance beam. They still won by more than two points.

Larysa Latynina did it in 1956 and 1960 and Vera Caslavska did it in 1964 and ’68. Biles has not lost an all-around competition since 2013, and she won her sixth title at last year’s world championships .

She was the silver medalist on vault at the 2023 world championships, finishing 0.201 behind Brazil’s Rebeca Andrade. But Biles’ score included a half-point deduction for having coach Laurent Landi stand on the landing mat as a safety precaution during her Yurchenko double pike. With Landi no longer doing that, Biles should have the edge mathematically .

When is gymnastics uneven bars final at Paris Olympics?

The women's uneven bars final is Sunday, Aug. 4 at 9:40 a.m. ET (3:40 p.m. Paris time).

What to know: This is the one final that’s a question mark for Biles. She won the uneven bars title at the U.S. championships and was second to Suni Lee at the Olympic trials. But countries are limited to two gymnasts in each final, and Hezly Rivera outscored Biles on bars on the second night of trials.

“For so many years, everybody told me I’m not good at bars and I thought I wasn’t good at bars,” Biles said at nationals. “But it’s not the worst. I can swing bars. I can do a routine. It is gonna put me on a world podium again? Who knows?”

In Tokyo, beam was where Biles made her return after being forced out of most of the Olympics with “the twisties,” which caused her to lose track of where she was in the air and put her physical safety at risk.
