The USA was favored to win gold in women's gymnastics at the 2021 Olympics. It ended up with a silver medal in the event after Simone Biles withdrew from it while battling a case of the twisties.
Now, Biles is back for a third Olympics and a chance to earn her first gold medal since the 2016 Olympics. And any medal will break her tie with Shannon Miller as the most decorated female gymnast in Team USA's history.
Biles enters the team competition in great form after finishing first all-around in qualifying. Her performance will also get her into the vault, beam and floor exercise event finals. She is the first alternate in the uneven bars competition, so she could position herself for a gold-medal sweep if all goes well.
But first things first, Biles will focus on helping the USA earn a victory in the team competition.
Biles will perform on all four apparatuses Tuesday. Her teammate Jordan Chiles will do the same while reigning all-around gold medalist Suni Lee will partake in three events.
Meanwhile, Jade Carey will serve as a vault specialist, competing only in that event. And 16-year-old Hezly Rivera — who is in her first-ever Olympics — will not participate in any of the team competition events , barring one of her teammates withdrawing.
Sporting News is tracking the results from the women's gymnastics team finals at the 2024 Olympics. Follow along for the latest updates, highlights and scores as the United States tries to win gold for the third time in the last four Olympic Games.

Olympics gymnastics live results, highlights from women's team finals
( All times Eastern. )
12:30 p.m. — Carey gets a 14.800 on her vault, with a sterling 9.200 execution score. That'll do for what is scheduled to be her only event of the day.
12:28 p.m. — Jade Carey goes next on the vault. She nails her lone event of the day, landing smoothly with the same vault Biles is poised to perform.
Like Chiles, Carey had a hop at the end of her vault, but it wasn't much. That should allow her to post a strong score and give Team USA an early lead.
12:26 p.m. — Chiles' score is in. She gets a 14.400, a very strong start for Team USA on what should be its highest-scoring apparatus.
12:24 p.m. — And, we're off. Jordan Chiles starts with a clean-looking vault. She had a sizeable hop at the end, but she should still score well on the maneuver.
12:20 p.m. — Big news from NBC color commentator Laurie Hernandez: Biles won't be doing her Yurchenko double pike in the team competition. That likely means she is saving her most difficult vault for the individual competition.
12:19 p.m. — The USA will start on the vault to begin the competition. Jordan Chiles, Jade Carey and Simone Biles will be the three participants on that apparatus, in order.
12:17 p.m. — Team USA is officially introduced to the crowd. Four of the five competitors came out in track suits while Jade Carey came out sporting her competition leotard.
The quintet looks ready to go.
12:15 p.m. — The competition should get underway in just a few moments. Simone Biles offered a message of gratitude to her fans on social media before the meet began.
12:08 p.m. — NBC just showed a package about Suni Lee battling a kidney disease during the end of her college career and ahead of her second Olympic team qualification. To learn more about Lee's battle, click here .
12:03 p.m. — The bronze medal-winning USA men's gymnastics team took time to wish their female counterparts well in their team competition.
Noon — In qualifying, Team USA scored 172.296 points while second-place finisher Italy logged a score of 166.861. The difference of 5.435 points between USA and Italy was greater than the gap between Italy and sixth-place finisher Canada (161.563).
What does that mean? If all goes well for the USA, they should be able to land the gold medal with ease.
11:45 a.m. — In case you're wondering, Jonathan Owens — a.k.a. Simone Biles' husband — is in the house for the gymnastics team final. He was granted an absence from Bears training camp to attend his wife's events in Paris.
10:50 a.m. — One non-American gymnast to watch Tuesday: Brazil's Rebeca Andrade . She is the reigning gold medalist on the vault and may debut a triple-twisting Yurchenko at the Olympics. She qualified second place all-around, so she could help turn Brazil into one of Team USA's top competitors.
10:30 a.m. — Hezly Rivera is the fifth member of the USA's gymnastics team, but she isn't expected to participate on any apparatus after qualifying fourth among her teammates on the bars and beam. Only three gymnasts can participate in each team final event.
