2021 Olympic Gymnastics Predictions: All-Around Final

US Olympic gymnasts who could qualify for the all-around final: Biles will undoubtedly qualify and win the all-around title given the fact that she could have a bad competition — even fall on a routine or two — and still come out victorious over all. Lee is my second pick to make it to the all-around final given that she finished second all-around at the Olympic Trials and outscored Biles in the all-around on night two of competition. This checks out with what Salim-Beasley thinks; however, she feels as though Chiles could lock in that second qualifying spot if she has a good meet (and Chiles really has proven herself to be consistent this year).

Olympic artistic gymnastics all-around final podium contenders: As mentioned earlier, Biles will win the all-around competition if all goes according to plan. Sacramone Quinn and Chan believe Lee has a chance at an all-around medal upon her qualification to the final as well as Listunova, who claimed all-around gold at the Junior World Championships in 2019, 2021 European Championships, and the 2021 National Championships in Russia.

Other Olympic all-around contenders Chan identified were Russia's Angelina Melnikova and China's Ou Yushan, both mentioned ahead for event final contention, as well as Zhang Jin, who won silver in the all-around at the Chinese National Championships in 2018 and 2021.

The Olympic artistic gymnastics all-around final is slated for July 29.
