Simone Biles, Suni Lee, Jordan Chiles will do all-around in Olympic gymnastics qualifying

Editor’s note: Simone Biles has won Olympic gold in the team final, all-around final and vault final at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

PARIS — There are no surprises in the U.S. women’s gymnastics team lineup for qualifying at the 2024 Paris Olympics, with Suni Lee and Jordan Chiles joining Simone Biles in doing the all-around.

That means Jade Carey and Hezly Rivera, at 16 the only member of the team who isn’t a returning Olympian, will each do two events Sunday. Carey will do vault and floor exercise, where she’s the reigning Olympic champion, while Rivera will do uneven bars and balance beam.

The U.S. women start on balance beam and finish on uneven bars. Biles will anchor every event but uneven bars, where it will be Lee. Bars is Lee’s signature event, and she won a bronze medal on it at the Tokyo Olympics in addition to her all-around gold. Biles will go second-to-last on bars.

Biles, Carey and Chiles are each planning to do two vaults, meaning they are trying to qualify for the vault final.

Four gymnasts compete on each event in qualifying, and teams can drop their lowest score. The top eight teams after qualifying advance to Tuesday’s team final, where scores start over, and the U.S. women are the heavy favorites to win gold.

The top 24 in the individual all-around make Thursday's final, where Biles is expected to become only the third woman, and first since 1968, to win a second Olympic title. The top eight gymnasts on each event advance to the event finals, which are Aug. 3-5.

But there is a limit of two gymnasts per country in the all-around and each event final, meaning there is likely to be at least one American who will get sidelined.
