How tall and how old are the USA women’s gymnasts?
The United States’ women’s gymnastics team is expected to bring home plenty of medals at this summer’s Olympic Games in Paris. The five-person team was selected after two gruelling days of US Olympic Gymnastics Trials last month.
The group is comprised of Simone Biles, Suni Lee, Jordan Chiles, Jade Carey and Hezley Rivera, the most decorated women’s gymnastics team in US history.
The biggest star of the quintet is Simone Biles, the four-time Olympic champion who is returning for her third Games. Now 27, Biles will become the oldest female gymnast to represent the US at the Olympics in 72 years. She is part of the oldest team of female gymnasts ever sent by the US.
The action began on Sunday, July 28 with the women’s qualifying stage. Team USA has qualified for the team final and will compete on July 30 at 12:15 p.m. ET.
How old are the US women’s gymnasts?
Due to the unique demands that elite level gymnastics places on the athlete, the top female comPetitors tend to be in their teens or early twenties. Simone Biles shot to global fame at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, winning four gold medals at the age of 19.
She is now the veteran of the US team, which is comprised of four twenty-somethings and 16-year-old sensational Hezley Rivera.
“I knew I wasn’t done after the performances in Tokyo,” Biles said after securing her place on the team for this summer’s Games in Paris. “I just had to get back in the gym, work hard and trust the process. I knew I would be back.”
