US Women's Olympic Gymnastics Team Will Officially Vie For Gold in Next Week's Final

It comes as no surprise that Biles won the all-around in qualification, and now she has a chance to defend the Olympic all-around title she earned at the Rio Games five years ago. If she does so, she'd be the first woman to win back-to-back Olympic all-around gold medals in over 50 years. Lee finished just under six-tenths behind Biles in third place overall and scored herself a ticket to the all-around final as well that takes place on July 29. Carey finished a little less than a point behind Lee and ended up in ninth; she's out of the all-around final due to the two-per-country rule. Rebeca Andrade of Brazil came in second place behind Biles.

Biles, who finished first place on vault across the five subdivisions, did not compete her Yurchenko double pike. Her coaches told NBC Sports's On Her Turf last week that the smart option is saving it for the all-around or team final because gymnasts are not given a type of warmup called a "one-touch warmup" during the event finals. The skill will be named after Biles once she does it in Tokyo. Carey finished just behind Biles in the standings after showcasing two strong vaults of her own, and you can see them compete in the final on Aug. 1.

Lee, with a massive 6.6 difficulty score and high performance of 15.2, finished in second place on bars across the five subdivisions in this preliminary round. If we're getting technical, she even missed a connection during the routine, meaning it wasn't the hardest routine she could do, but she still bested the rest of the competition except for Belgium's Nina Derwael. This qualified Lee for a shot in the bar final on Aug. 1. Biles just made the bar final as well by staying within the top eight on the event with the two-per-country rule applied.

Biles finished in second place on floor over the five subdivisions to Italy's Vanessa Ferrari, and Carey finished third. Carey did not choose to compete her triple-double layout that will be named after her in the Code of Points if she were to land it successfully in the floor final. It's a K-level skill, the hardest tumbling pass in women's gymnastics right now.

The final for floor takes place on Aug. 2. It's at this final where Biles could become the most decorated gymnast ever across the World Championships and Olympic Games — she needs four Olympic medals in order to pass Belarus's Vitaly Scherbo, who has 33 as a combined total and currently holds that title (realistically, Biles might not medal on bars the day prior to the floor final).

Lee finished in third place on beam in the standings behind Guan Chenchen and Tang Xijing from China, qualifying her for a chance to medal in that final on Aug. 3. Biles took a significant amount of steps backward after her full-twisting double tuck dismount, but still managed to finish high enough in the standings due to the two-per-country limit.

Chiles and McCallum are both members of the four-person squad competing in the team final on July 27. Chiles's night was not her best after falling twice on beam and getting a significant deduction on bars. McCallum had a solid night on all four events but did not qualify for any of the apparatus finals or the all-around final.

Skinner, along with Carey, was an individual gymnast the US brought along to Tokyo, and she competed in the preliminary round for a chance to qualify into the all-around and event finals. On her best event, vault, she was out-scored by Carey. Unfortunately, due to the two-per-country-maximum rule, Skinner did not make it into that final. She announced her retirement at the beginning of July, though she will still take opportunities starting with the Gold Over America Tour this fall.

"Heart broken but feeling sooo humbled and blessed for the amazing performance I had tonight!" Skinner wrote on Twitter. "You have all brought me to tears thanks for being my biggest cheerleaders! Love u allFace throwing a kiss xoxo myk."
