    After an exciting round of qualifiers for Simone Biles and Team USA, they are now major favorites to win gold in the team final.

    They were able to put up quite a sizable lead over the weekend even though Biles re-injured her calf which had reportedly been bothering her for a couple of weeks. As we learned on Monday, Biles will be partaking in every event anchoring three out of the four. Biles will be the anchor for Team USA in the vault, balance beam, and the floor exercise, while being the second-to-last person on the uneven bars.

    With the finals right around the corner, there has been a ton of coverage of Biles and the team entering the building, preparing, and even about her husband who is missing training camp with the Chicago Bears to watch. Before pursuing the gold, which whether it's gold or one of the other two placings Biles' next medal will be a historic one, Biles had a message to all of her fans.

    "Hey y'all," Biles said in a video released by NBC's Olympic page on X. "I just want to say a quick thanks for all of the support and love leading up to this event. And for the continued support I'll receive throughout this Olympics. I truly could not have got here without y'all. I love you all so much and I'm so excited to compete. Let's get it done and go USA!"

    Biles and Team USA, who registered a strong 172.296 during qualifying will jump into action at 12 p.m. ET on NBC.
